Windows applications need to be installed on a new system, you can't copy them unless they are old DOS based programs.
The only way to really get them to work properly is to re-install and then do all the updates.
Need help.....
Lots of patches and games on an old HDD but building a new comp with new HDD's but want the same old software and games to work.
Can i transfer installed programs to new Hdd's without having to re-install again as many patches have been downloaded taking up many Gb's ?
Equipment: AMD 64 3000, 1gb corsair value pack
Mobo : Asus K8V se Deluxe
2 x WD CAviar 80gb SATA
ALso, is raid 0 a good idea ? can use older 40gb as 3rd Hdd for backup for now right?
Thanx whoever picks up on this one..
Cheers
