The other thing you could do is use the disk utilities restore from the old machineto the new machine,
This is what I use to image our work machines from an external hard drive via thunderbolt, On the new machine open disk utilities at start up Find the macintosh hd or main volume on the machine then with the older machine connected in the best possible way then start it up in target disk mode and it will appear on the new machines disk util which Then restore the new machine from the old machine.

But the migration tool does not clone your current computers drive and onto the new machine. Instead it migrates the users home directories and account information and Applications in the Applications directory from your current computer that are not on your new computer. It will also get WiFi and clock settings from your current computer and move that information into the appropriate places on the new computer. If you installed an application in a location other than /Applications, or modified Web Server settings or crontab entries, don't expect those to be migrated, though they might be migrated. Almost all settings from System Settings and Application specific settings panels does get migrated to the new system.

You will need to use a Windows migration tool to move that environment to your new system, after you have created an appropriate BootCamp partition with the VootCamp tool.

I have 2 questions: Does Time Machine only back up what is in the Mac part of the hard drive, not the Windows partition? And when I get a new Mac and set it up to restore from a Time Machine backup of my Mac Mini, will my new Mac have a Bootcamp partition with Windows 10 or will Time Machine only restore what was on my macOS part of tge Mac Mini hard drive?
