community how can you help me to transfer software or find same software version please

Are you looking to transfer applications from one PC to another? This video provides a detailed walkthrough of the method available for app migration. I will demonstrate how to effectively move your applications while preserving their functionality.

Just be aware that the activation scheme on some programs will require the software to be deactivated and uninstalled on one machine before moving it to another machine. If that is the case for any of your programs then you will need access to the software installation package.

Before you decommission your old system, make sure you can get everything working on the new system first and determine what the requirements are for moving each program.

I know that this does not help right now, but I always make sure that I have installation media available for EVERY single program that I use. It's something that I suggest for everyone to avoid situations just like this. Maybe that's something to consider for the future.

I hope it all works out well for you!

I would personally just clone the disk, and then launch the clone on the new machine and manually update to 11. Which keeps everything the way it was.

That will not work for some programs. But it is up to you to determine which programs cannot be transferred that way. Moving it to a different machine will break activation for some programs.

Good point. You may have to reactivate some software still. I am lucky that most of mine don't seem to mind being moved provided that the original pc isn't on the internet at the same time.

If you decided to do what @andrew129260 suggested, make sure you deactivate any programs that needs to be deactivated first. Another thing you should do is backup the drivers on the new computer before cloning the old computer to the new computer. A couple days ago I did a clean install of Win 11 24H2 to a second SSD so I could do a dual boot of the Canary builds and 24H2, Windows couldn't find my NVIDIA video driver and a couple of other drivers. I had to point the driver updates in Device Manager to the drive with my driver backups.

let say guys the sticky note, the application needs to transfer, windows 10 sticky note to windows 11 " windows 11 does not has sticky note"
