Just make a list and reinstall them. It's generally not trivial to move
applications, as there are generally no reasonable ways to know where all
the files went or what all the registry entries are for them. If you have
the install media to hand, you'll be done in a couple of hours, most of it
waiting for installs to complete.. use this time for other tasks.
Apparently LapLink has a utility that they say can do this, but I've never
tried it.

would like to move to your PC. "
