Hi & Happy Holidays.
I just bought a new laptop. How do I move my CC Subscription and all of my fonts over to my new device?

Thank you.

You have to locate them in your font folders and then copy them from there to the new computer.

Hi there,

 

Thanks for reaching out. In addition to the correct response given earlier by Monika & Ton, I'd request checking out this Microsoft support article to know how to transfer fonts from one computer to another.

Hope it helps.

 

Regards,

Ashutosh

    If you want to clear the old system (in order to sell it or whatever), take precautions to backup your personal scripts, settings, libraries, plugins etc. before uninstalling the Creative Cloud.

    I just want to use the new laptop and all 2600+ fonts are non-Adobe. I bought them from all over the web. Is there a way to move them all at once?

      You can have your subscription on 2 computers, but you can sign out using the CC app on your old computer.

      To use CC on your new computer, install the CC app and install the apps.

      The Adobe fonts that you used on your old computer will be activated on your new one.

      All none Adobe fonts should be transferred manually.

      Do you want to switch permanently or do you want to use both?
