    Program Files Transfer for New Build


    I'm just completing a new build and got almost everything reinstalled and transferred. I used Ninite to transfer programs but it only transfers the popular programs it has and I have a whole lot more that need to transfer. I don't have the installation info for a lot of these programs. What do I do? Is there freeware like Ninite I can use?

    You must always reinstall programs on a new build unless you SysPrep the HD on the old hardware first: SysPrep to move HD to another computer

    Otherwise you can boot Paragon Adaptive Restore CD first to adapt the drivers to start the old OS on new hardware.

    If you have the keys you can often find the installers online or by contacting the manufacturer.
