I just finished upgrading my system (new mobo, CPU, GPU, RAM, and hard drive) and everything is going well but I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to still use the programs I had installed on the old build.

I had been using a 120 GB SSD as my main system drive and now I'm using a 512 GB m2 drive for the main drive. I still have the old 120 GB drive installed on the new machine; it has Windows 7 on it and a few programs I still want like Office and Acrobat.

I'm trying to figure out how to get those programs off that drive, put them on my new m2 drive, and then reformat the 120 SSD drive to just use as a storage drive. Is there any easy to still use those programs on this new system? I'm sure I don't know what the product keys are, I bought them years ago.
