On a new hard drive in my new pc. Do fresh installations of updated software. Run your old computer on your home network along with your new computer and enable file sharing. You'll be able to see your old hard drive from your new computer and you could just drag over what you want. You can even, from your new computer, launch files that are on your old computer and have them load in RAM on your new computer.

When you see your old computer on the network and try to navigate to its hard drive, you'll be prompted for login credentials for your old pc.
