Trying to recover brush

Hi there.

My windows laptop originally came with an HDD and recently it slowed down so painfully that I decided to get an SSD. Now, I have both internal drives in my laptop with the HDD serving as a sorta external drive while the new SSD is the primary drive. Laptop is much faster now...

Problem is I didn't clone the drive or export my brushes, so my presets and workspace settings for photoshop are stuck in the HDD drive, if they're still there. My singular problem is gaining access to my custom brushes, if possible (I had to re-install photoshop in the new drive so it's brand new) and reloading them on the new installation.

Can anyone help me out? Is there a place where photoshop saves brush presets?

On the HDD, look in /Users/username/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop [version]/Presets/Brushes.

    This was really helpful. Thanks a lot.
    I only managed to get my workspaces back. I have permanently lost my brushes, I think, because I couldn't find them in the preset folder. Maybe I didn't save them right.

    Another place to look would be /Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop[version]/Presets/Brushes.
