Go on then. You are in the OP's position. Which programme you have
currently could and would you just copy from the old HD to the new?

Lol. Newsgroups eh. GIYF. The term 'portable' is often applied, often
not.

Thanks for not answering the question.

I personally can't think of any.

Most of mine were copiable that way when I ran windows. But not the
bloated ones. I used to direct copy into program files to 'install' a
pile of useful apps in one shot.

Ah. You haven't used Windows for some time, then?

Only things I'd copy from an old to new PC would be files. I'd do a fresh
installation of the progs I wanted to carry over to the new machine. Far
less likelihood of having problems.
