Presets Have Disappeared After Moving Computer

I recently moved from a PC to a Mac and transferred the files. The photos are now in a different location but it's no problem to reconnect them to Lightroom Classic, however, despite using the same Lightroom Catalog, my personal presets have disappeared. Does anyone know where these might be found? I thought that they would be associated with the catalog but perhaps they're just in a folder that I'm unable to find. If so, what is the usual name of this on Macs? Thank you!

Can you let the forum know if you have been able to solve this issue with WobertC's post thanks?

Its trickling down the lists of posts to obscurity somewhat.

In summary- Develop Presets are stored in a {Camera Raw} folder. All other Preset types are stored in a {Lightroom} folder.

This article from the Lightroom Queen will give more details of locations-

FILE LOCATIONS

You will need to copy the presets from the PC folder locations and paste them to the Mac locations.
