hello,

I have a photographic plan on the old PC(Win10) and now I would like to transfer everything to the new PC(Win11), same plugins, settings... both Photoshop and Lightroom. How should I do it? Is cloud synchronization enough?

Thanks.

PS:i found this guide

for LrC, is it still valid?

@bax_3506 The linked document for moving Lightroom is still valid.

Here you'll find a similar document for Photoshop: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preset-migration.html

My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 8 - PureRAW 6 - Topaz Photo AI

@bax_3506 Always make a full backup of your entire old PC's user profile and documents before starting the migration process, just in case.. Since you do have permession to install Adobe CC on two computers, as long as you only have one activated on your old PC, I would first log into adobe.com and install Photoshop and Lightroom on the new PC. If it is working all good, then deactivate the older PC

You can install Adobe creative cloud on as many computers as you wish, but you can only activate it on two computers at a time for use by one user. it is not necessary to uninstall or deactivate from your older computer.

see this Help page for details.
