Migrating programs to new laptop??

Have a new laptop arriving in a few days, my old one has it’s problems so I am replacing it. I have older versions of WordPerfect, Outlook, MS Office etc. I want to bring them over as they are, I want to stay away from subscription programs so it looks like setting my old programs into the new computer is going to be a big pain. Both laptops are Win 10. I am not a techy but plain and simple will do. Any insight offered will help.
Thanks

Nope.
Reinstall on the new laptop.

Applications are generally NOT movable.
