I did not look at the original message that lead to this thread so I may be
out of line here.
However, it may be an easy thing to put both the old and new hard drives onto
the target computer, do a disk to disk copy of the TS files in the Windows
Explorer then return the old hard drive back to the old computer.
Of course, the new computer will not be capable of running TS without a proper
install of the software since the registration database, etc will not be set
up. Buy any copy method has this problem. There are programs available that
will move an installed program from one location to another but I would not
go that way personally.
