Tips for switching from Mac to PC

I currently have Adobe CC with Lightroom and Photoshop installed on a Mac.  We are replacing the Mac with a PC and I am looking for some info and tips on how to do this.  We have a pretty large collection of photos that I don't want to lose.  How can I ensure they are all backed up and what can I do to make the transition go smoothly?  I am not very proficient with all the product features so any info would be appreciated.

Nothing to it really. Just Deactivate, Sign Out, on the Mac then install on the PC.

 

 

Follow this page for instructions on getting all your images and catalog over to the new PC.
