Old programs on a new computer

[moshi01]

Hello,
I have a bunch of programs installed on a hard drive that was my primary drive in my old computer. I have built a new computer and have this drive for added storage. Can I use programs that were installed on my old HDD. For example, I have BF3 installed on it. Is there any way to still play BF3 without having to re-install it?
Thank you!

The support files and registry entries for those programs will no longer be present, so you will have to wipe that old drive & re-install those programs.

Yeah! phil22 is right! I also think you should format that old drive and re-install those programs.

All right! One more thing, you should copy all your important data off this old hard drive in case of data loss before you format it.
