How to save actions & workspaces during uninstall/reinstall?

I have a new-to-me Mac and since I used Migration assistant and TimeMachine to transfer data from old drive to new, Photoshop cannot handle my usual large-scale workflow (open 20-50 images with CameraRaw, delete the losers, set lighting/contrast, open keepers in Photoshop, then do minimal tweaks and batch action sharpening and resizing for display/web/etc).   I think it's time to suck it up and do an uninstall/reinstall, but I don't want to lose my custom actions & workspace defaults.  I need a pointer to current way to export/save and import/reinstall these, please.  Thanks!

MBP with El Capitan (can't upgrade to HS yet due to office restrictions on MS Office version)

Adobe CC subscription

    Hi Debunix,

    Have you reviewed the options in this help document: Migrate presets, actions, and settings? It walks you through how to migrate presets and actions either automatically or manually.

    Let us know how it goes.
