Re: How do I move programs from old machine to new

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



No matter if you move them or copy them, you're still probably going to have
to reinstall them to make them work. There are very few program that you can
simply move from one drive/os to another and have them work afterward.

There are programs that claim to be able to let you migrate programs from
one computer to another, but I've never seen any that work reliably enough.
