I need to purchase a new macbook and have the microsoft office for apple and webroot securities programs. If I utilize the migration assistant will these programs transfer to the new macbook with full usability?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.7

"Best Practice" is to re-install your Apps using fresh downloads from fundamental sources. As a side effect, this makes certain you are using the correct versions as well.
If you are concerned about malware, this also assures that your crypto-locked System Volume contains only the approved, signed items, and nothing has been added over the years.

It should if the Apps are supported on the operating system of the new Mac.

By far the easiest way to cause poor performance, instability, overheating and crashing is to install ANY third-party speeder-uppers, Cleaners, Optimizers, or Virus scanners. or a VPN that you installed yourself. The main reason is that they are relentless in scanning your files, non-stop, looking for things virus-like patterns in Everything. When completed, they do it all again.
The idea that a third party, with no special knowledge of the inner workings of MacOS, can somehow find a simple way to protect your computer — that is not already being done by MacOS itself — suggests that the MacOS developers are somehow "holding out on you". That is absurd.
You should remove any and all (other than Apple built-in) virus scanners, speeder uppers, optimizers, cleaners, App deleters or VPN packages you installed yourself, or anything of that ilk.
Third-party file Sync-ers such as DropBox, BackBlaze, OneDrive, or GoogleDrive can ruin performance, but are not inherently dangerous.

WebRoot and similar third-party virus scanners have no place on your already very well protected Macintosh running MacOS 11 Big Sur or later.
