Go to the pirate bay.
But that took so long the first time around...Quote:

Uh, not such a good idea. Anything on there could have malware on it.Quote:

And you can't copy installed programs to another hard drive. You need the installer for everything and reinstall the whole bunch. It's not just a bundle of files on your HDD. You need Windows to actually recognize it as software, which is what the whole installation process is for (and registries and other shit I won't pretend to understand).
That's why you look into the download. .-.Quote:
