with the Seagate FreeAgent Go Portable 500GB External USB 2.0 Hard Drive / Silver ST905003FGD2E1-RK
will I be able to copy programmes and then be able to copy them to another laptop

If you are talking about the generic ability to copy files from one computer to another, then the answer is yes.

If you are talking about installing programs on computer 1 (on the removable HDD) and then moving that drive to computer 2, the answer is no. You won't have the necessary entries in your registry to run the applications.

Understand the difference? Good luck!

Thank you for your reply. It was just as I thought but wanted confirmation. Really just a back up for your laptop or PC. I'll be a Geek soon, but not your rank... just a private. Harry
