How to transfer memory from old HDD to new Hybrid - WITHOUT OS

[GearGirl]

So I bought and installed a new 4TB seagate Hyrbid to replace my old 1TB HDD

I've installed windows 7 unto the new hybrid

However I don't want to go through the hassle of reinstalling all my programs + saving my stuff on an external drive and then transferring them into the new drive

Is it possible to transfer everything from the old drive into the new WITHOUT transferring the OS?

Help would be much appreciated! ^_^

No. Your applications will need to be reinstalled.

Most of the program store additional files (DLLs) in the shared files folder in the windows directory and register them to windows. In addition all program store information, like the config, install path and so on in the registry. all this is unique to the actual windows installation and can not be transfered. Either transfer the os and programs or re-install everything.
