Importing the registry in a new install is not a good idea; clearing out the registry cruft is one of the reasons to perform routine maintenance formats. Things would get even worse importing a registry into a new OS on new hardware. Your best option is to simply reinstall apps that need reinstallation. *

* Note that this precludes SE5, which will only need a serial entered again. It will run just fine after that.
