Then the Applications should be in the Applications folder of the new computer.

Has one verified ?

Depending on the Age of the previous computer and version of macOS installed on that computer, if the Applications are 32 Bit Applications they will appear with a Circle with a Bar through it indicating the Applications are Not Compatible with Catalina.

Catalina only supported Everything 64 Bit. That is applications, extensions and drivers.

I used migration assistant with an OWC Solid State Drive (from another computer) to my newer MacBook. I transferred just the applications but it didn't give me an option to set up a new user. It transferred the data (and took up quite a bit in the storage), but now I can't find it anywhere. The computer is exactly the same as before, but its stored somewhere, just can't find it. Thanks.
