transfer my Lightroom and/or settings to my new PC.

My motherboard has failed, and I'm looking to transfer my Lightroom settings to my new PC. I only have access to the old SSD, which is now the D drive in the new PC. The new PC also has a new C drive. Most of the available methods for transferring Lightroom and/or settings assume both the old and new PCs are operational.

Correct answer Rob_Cullen

If you old drive (now D:drive) still has intact the Lightroom Settings folder you should be able to simply Copy and Paste many of the Presets, etc, into the corresponding folder on the new C:drive.

C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom

Most of the information in this article link from the Lightroom Queen can be applied to moving presets from one drive to another.
