Product: HP Envy 750-170se
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I installed a Samsung 960EVO SSD a couple months ago and was able to sucessfully make it my boot drive. I wanted to keep the applications on it to a minimum so I didn't clone my HDD. I was able to get Windows 10 on it immediately, followed by Office, Lr, Ps, ect.. I recently realized I hadn't transfered, and can't figure out how to download, my version of CyberLink PowerDVD that came with my desktop. I have also tried to install the HP Recovery Manager application from the drivers & Software tab for my desktop. It will download and "install" and even says the instillation was complete/successful however I can't find it anywhere and it doesn't pop up when I go through the HP Support Assistant either. I still have everything on my old HDD but I would like to transfer the desired applications to the new SSD. Is their any way to pick and choose which apps to transfer, rather than just cloning the HDD?
