Hello,
I am buying a new computer and have programs on my old computer that I will be unable to get again. Is there a way of moving these programs to my ne computer?

What are the old programs?

U could make an image of the old W7 and use that, but its not the best thing to do.

Other than creating an image, you can use "Application Mover". Just install the old HD on the new PC (or use USB adapter on laptops), and use the Application Mover to migrate your programs from Drive to Drive each at a time.
