How do I transfer programs from a hard drive on a computer whose mother board failed to a hard drive on a new computer. Game program files were transferred via a docking station to the new computer, but there is no way to open them. I planned on installing the old hard drive into the new computer as a second hard drive. How do I transfer those files from the old hard drive to the new one.? Both computers ran/run Windows 10.

I though that I would have to reinstall the programs. If I install the old hard drive along side of the one that is in the new computer, how do I access the old drive? I could then be able to play the games without having to re-download them.

You can't get around having to reinstall the software on the new system. The registry on the new system knows nothing of those programs.
