Installed Lightroom on a new PC

I have bought a new pc and installed Lightroom and Photoshop CC, I use Google Nik Collections for a lot of my initial work, mainly Silver Efex and HDR Efex. Since installing Lightroom on the new pc I cannot get any of the Nik software to work. I think i read online that there's a problem since the new Lightroom Classic and wondered if anyone knows if there's a way to still use the Nik software with Lightroom Classic?

I'm using Lightroom Classic CC on Windows 10, and I have the Nik collection installed. HDR Efex Pro is accessible through the export menu under Google, and Silver Efex Pro is accessible through the "Edit in" context menu. And I have access to all of the other Nik tools.

I'm very pleased for you Jim and very jealous haha, yes i'm aware that's where they are or were always accessed from, but not now it seems, I've got Silver Efex listed after doing so in the external editor section, but when I click it, lightroom makes a copy as it did before but Silver efex doesn't open, I have seen messages online with this problem. I don't think I've done anything different when re downloading Nik, but honestly i don't know, but thank you for the reply, I appreciate it

I certainly didn't mean to insult you. Frankly, I haven't used either one of those plug-ins very much. But I just tried Silver Efex and it works as expected. I didn't install the Nik Collection new for Lightroom Classic CC. It just carried over from the previous version.
