Transferring software is always a hassle. Firefox was the very easiest.

Arc GIS system no biggie - again we stick with the old version so we don't have to learn a buncha new crap.

MS Office was a big hassle - 2000 wouldn't work tried various tricks and always had problems esp. with Outlook so finally bit the used bullet & installed MS Orifice 2003 which had minimal changes to mess with with & no ribbons to tie me down.

I am still looking for the CDs for the Adobe apps suite (which I rarely use).

In all, I am reminded of something a professor on my PhD committee (a soils scientist who was an electronics genius) said to me back in the days when he ran a dozen Radio Shack Trash-80s in his lab: "we spend thousands of hours just messing with these things and I wonder if we are really saving ourselves any effort." - paraphrase tho I used quotes to set it off; my memory is diluted by the intervening few decades since but that was definitely the gist of it
