When you update, Creative cloud should ask you if you want to keep your settings. If you still don't have them you can locate them here:

Workspaces are in:

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\[previous_version]\ModifiedWorkspaces.

You can drag all of these files to the new version folder where [previous_version]

Presets are in:

C:\Users\jakie\Documents\Adobe\[previous_version]\User Presets

Again, you can copy them over to the new version.

If you have any other settings you want to migrate let me know.
