Need HELP! Computer dying. Tech questions

OK so long story short my computer seems to be in the process of dying

Now, I was wondering if there was a way to transfer programs such a word and Norton (stuff I have to pay for) to my external hard drive and them move them from my external hard driveto my new computer?

So i want to move software from My Old Computer>>to>>My External Hard Drive>>to>>My New Computer.

Is this possible?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Do you have the installation media, or at the least a product key for Microsoft Word (or Office if it's in that package)?

For Word just use OpenOffice, it's free and compatible with MS Office.

For anti-virus use Microsoft Security Essentials, it's better than Norton and free.

Best of luck mate
