How to retrieve previous AI settings from old computer

Question

Hi all,My laptop recently died, and I had to get a new one. Unfortunately, when I re-installed Illustrator, I found that all my old settings were gone. I had a million shortcuts assigned to things like Trim View and Deselecting. Also, my Graphics Styles library appears to be gone. Is there a way to import those things into the new version of Illustrator from one of my AI files, say? I use Windows 11, if that's important, and it's a Lenovo Ideapad laptop. I think the most important thing at this point is how to retrieve my Graphics Styles library. At the moment, I just have this (screenshot attached). Thanks in advance!

Those are your graphic styles. They display in thumbnail as a square with a stroke and fill. If you're used to displaying them another way, click on the panel's menu and select Small or Large List View. If you want to save what's there as a library, select Save Graphic Style Library.

Oh, that's it -- ha, how funny! I selected Small List View, and voila, there they are. Phew, thank you, Doug!

You need access to the old harddrive. And then here are your settings files:https://www.vektorgarten.de/illustrator-settings.html
