reloading Mathcad in new windows 11 computer

I have purchased a new computer because my old computer can not be updated to windows 11. I have Mathcad 14, #15, Mathcad Prime 3.1 on my old computer. I want to put them on my new computer and my question is whether I can copy the files to a usb drive and put them onto my new computer? Or cand is download the from and old download file? Or do I new to get a new download from PTC?
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

You should first read and understand this: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Mathcad-Tips/Official-PTC-Mathcad-15-and-Prime-1-6-End-of-Sale-Announcement/ta-p/818870 

Then you know that all versions of Mathcad and Prime are no longer supported. The installation sources are no longer available for download so unless you have CD's or other source files for installation, installation is going to be a challenge. 
I recently read that someone copied over the entire Mathcad 15 directory and the license file to another PC and had it running, so you could try that.

If you succeed in getting the programs to run, but not licensed, you should try the license transfer. Info is here: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Mathcad-Installation/How-to-Transfer-Mathcad-license-from-an-existing-Host-ID-to-a/m-p/788323#M1599
