HOW TO IMPORT SITE FROM CS6 FROM OLD COMPUTER TO NEW COMPUTER WITH CC2021

I just got a new Macbook Pro M1. On my old Macbook Pro i have DW CS6, on the new one i have CC 2021. If i import my website from CS6 to CC 2021 on my new Mac, will i use all the info i have in CS6 and cannot use it anymore? I do want to use CC but am nervous in case i do something wrong.

    in addition to what Nancy says, I would add that if you had exported your site from CS6 (at least the STE file which contains the server settings information and various other parameters specific to your site), then you can also import this informations (contained in the STE file) into the current CC.
    however, it is important that you take into account that if in the old site developed under CS6, you used particularities specific to DW at that time, such as server behaviors, the SPRY library or widgets... all this is not taken into account at all in the new versions of DW

      Imported settings or STE files from legacy Creative Suite did not work for me when I first migrated to Creative Cloud. 

      Also the file location may be different on a new computer.

      In my experience, it's usually best to create a new site definition in CC then export it to STE for future use.

        There's nothing to import.  Simply go to Site > New Site and define your local site folder and enter your server's S/FTP log-in credentials.  That's all there is to it.

         

        Creative Cloud on a new computer will have no effect on running legacy CS6 from your old computer.  They are separate installations on totally different devices.
