You cant transfer applications and OS's between PCs with out reinstalling.
I'm not too hot on phones but anyway, If the contacts are saved to the SIM card then you can get those things that transfer the data across.

Why not just use the hard drive in your existing PC and have it as a second hard drive in your new PC. Make sure that the old HDD is set to slave.
As for the phone, unless you get another Nokia it's pointless saving it on the computer. Just copy to the sim card and transfer to your new phone that way.

Hiya Peter
As Callum correctly states you can't just copy applications across from one PC to another. You can, however, copy your files and settings and there are various pieces of software available to make this process easy. But you do need the installation disc(s) for the original applications to reinstall the software on your new PC. I've used Photo Impact before (it came free with a digital camera) but I can't say if it's Vista-compatible or not as I haven't put it on to any of the laptops.
As for the mobile phone query, the simple answer is yes! Modern data phones should come with a disc with software and drivers on it. Some phones even has the software installation files on the actual phone and can be installed from there. The software usually gives you a number of options to connect to the phone (infra-red, wireless, bluetooth or data cable) and should be able to read your contacts as well as other things. Obviously, the more expensive the phone, the more features it will have so it all depends on the make and model that you choose. I can't comment on the specs of individual phones but your local dealer will be able to. Have a word with them.

That would only guarantee the user files and not the program files.
