Right. As long as the software is good and there is no overlay software potentially fucking with your whole screen (looking at you, Microsoft), then youbcan receive at that new address just fine. To verify that you have received the coins with a few confirmations is a matter of checking multiple other people's nodes for a pretty high degree of confidence, or checking your own node once fully synced with the timechain for certainty.

I believe Electrum wallet by default checks 10 different nodes. You can use blockstream and mempool.space nodes too.

Best to use multiple sources, not just the electrum wallet, in case of an attack of spam nodes

But better still to verify with one of your own fully synced nodes.

I run one full node 24/7 and some pruned nodes. You can verify with certainty that the coins are received and confirmed on a mempool.space instance tied to such a setup instead of waiting for the new node to sync itself.
