This is true. Even better, a lot of applications do NOT require anything extra to run. But bigger ones usually require something extra, like special DLLs or registry entries that are installed alongside the application.

'Tinkering' could mean that you just copy over everything, try out what works right away, and do a fresh install on anything that doesn't work.
