Will all of my adobe ps cc actions/brushes and lr cc presets automatically transfer to my new computer upon download/login of these cc programs on the new computer or will they need to be reloaded?

whoa, wait a minute.

 

i thought you were asking what would happen if you update your apps.

 

do NOT use time machine nor any other migration tool to move your installed adobe apps.  you should:

 

1. on your old computer uninstall your cc apps (but do not remove preferences)

2. uninstall the cc desktop app

3. then migrate your adobe app free old computer to your new computer

4. install the cc desktop app on the new computer and install the cc programs properly on the new computer.

How are you transferring to a new computer?  Are you using something like Time Machine on a Mac, if so then yes all files will be moved from the old to the new.  If you don't have a backup solution in place and you are just downloading them from the CC cloud via your app, settings will definitely transfer over but the other pieces may not and you should maintain a backup just in case.  What are your old/new computer specs?  Someone may be able to provide you with some ideas to help plan your migration if we know what we are working with.

most will probably be automatically transferred,BUT the prudent approach is to install the update and not remove the previous version that has everything  and is working the way you want.  ie, find out safely.
