Hi. I have just had an SSD drive installed into my iMac which is in addition to the original drive. I was wondering how to transfer Photoshop and Lightroom Clasic to my SSD Drive. I am on the monthly payment plan for these two programmes

    If it were me, I'd use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the system drive  with Ps and Lr on it so you can preserve your original catalogs and configuration. Then select it as the Startup Disk in System Preferences. Better Performance as I can see.

    If all goes well, your original drive can be erased and used for storage.  Hopefully the SSD is larger than your original.

    You don't move them. You download the Adobe CC app and install from scratch.
