How do I move my preferences & keyboard shortcuts to 2017 versions?

I am moving from CS6 to the 2017 Cloud versions of Indesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop.  In the past, I have been able to move my workspace, keyboard shortcuts, etc., to the newer version by copy/pasting those folders, but I cannot figure this new one out.  The folders don't seem to have corresponding folders in the new version.  Any idea how to move those preferences from the older version to the newer version? 

Working in Windows 10...

Thanks,

GS

The settings are in different folders.

Some are in your user folder (it might be hidden) in the preferences:

How to set preferences in Illustrator

Others are in an application support folder (this is for Dreamweaver, just try and replace the Dw references by Illustrator):

Locating your personal configuration folder

There's also stuff in the application folder in a folder called "Support files"

When migrating to the newer version I would first install the new version on top of the old one. You need to be careful when installing, because by default, old versions are wiped.
