Wow, this is a dangerously short answer. Of course a migration must include the data also - installing the applications is absolutely the simple part. I have a lot of stuff in Photoshop (plugins, workflow etc) and in LR classic (catalogs (images are my responsibility), custom print formats, presets etc etc). What are the steps to be taken to have the identical working environment on the new computer?
