migrate apps from old to new laptop

experts is there a way (free if possible) to transfer my set up from my existing hp pavilion laptop to my new dell inspiron?
1. They are both windows 7 home premium
2. Not a whole lot of data to migrate
3. Am worried about all software (free and paid) that i've installed in my old pc that i'd like to move to my new one instead of reinstalling each one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time. Cheers

No, Unfortunatley you cannot migrate applications.
There are too many registry associations with Applications along with licensing limitations that do not allow fir this to be done.

Anny application you have on your old PC
Free or Paid - need to be re-installed on the new pc

Correct Solution(s) was to re-install the apps, and or migrate any user settings using MS Easy Transfer Wizard as provided above in Expert Comments.

One or more of the solutions above should be accepted, rather than deleting question
