That usually won’t work.

Their is a way of doing these but they are extremely hard and unfortunately we can’t tell you on the internet for legal reasons, so NO!

It depends entirely on the program, if you could list their names, we might be able of helping you.

And since these programs are taken over from direct family, they are actually not illegal!

Will Microsoft Works not do you?

no, you would need to find the registery entries for those. It is most easy to re-download it, if you still have a valid licence.

You know if you need to just read Word files you can get them for free and Open Office is like Microsoft Office but free!

And yes, I too would advice open office! It is free, upgraded more regularly, and has more languages available. There are only benefits.

Open Office would do that

I doubt you can do that! (call up the pain shop and tell them who you are and they send on a new code!

Take your old hard drive to someplace that does file transfers (best buy - geek squad) and ask if they could transfer the programs to your laptop (obviously you’d have to leave your laptop there).

It might be pricey though (Geek Squad, not sure about any others).

Hope I helped though.

There /is/ a way to copy the program, but it’s hard and may take a while. My other suggestion would work a lot easier.
