I've saved my mods to a hard-drive for my new pc. How can I get them working?

I don't know how to use MO2 or NMM. But for Vortex (and likely similarly from either of the two I previously menitoned)

1. Install the hard drive into your new PC
2. ...(boot new pc blah blah)
3. Open your mod manager on the new PC
4. Click to view the "Mods" tab
5. From the orange menu bar at or near top of page, click "Install from File"
6. Navigate to the first mod you want to install (in your case, it will be from the extra drive you just installed into your PC
7. Choose the archive file. (usually a .7z file, sometimes a .zip)
8. Click Ok
9. Now follow the directions issued by Vortex. (deploy, resolve any reported contentions, enable, FNIS where applicable, and activate), and allow it to complete the deployment.

Did you backup the Vortex databases? That have the info about the mods and conflicts, profiles etc. If not and you can still get them then do so, otherwise you will be installing your mods from scratch.

And the rules about where to place the staging folder will still apply.
