Windows backup of your data files only and restore it on your new laptop.

You can’t move the applications, you’ll have to download and install the newest version for Windoze 8.1.

As for removing bloat ware, you’ll have to remove them from the add/remove control panel application individually.

Me, I use a Mac, so I’d just do a Time Machine restore and it would do it all.

I’ve moved .exe files many times using a thumb drive, then just re-installed. Depends on the application obviously though.
