shortcuts keys

I customize my shortcuts in Illustrator every time I install a new version, but I don't know how to load this configuration when I reinstall the program. I can't find the file or I don't know how it's saved and loaded. I would appreciate it if you could guide me through this process so I can have my custom keyboard shortcuts for Illustrator functions in each new installation.

The shortcuts are a .kys file at this location on Windows:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator xx Settings\language\x64

You can also go to Edit > My settings > Export and then import on the new computer.
