    I copy my Photoshop Settings (presets, preferences, brushes, etc...) to an external drive or USB stick.

    On Windows go to C:/Users/[user name]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop [version]/Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings.

      Hi @thomasl34294613, here are the steps for backing up your Photoshop Preferences: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#backup-photoshop-preferences

       

      Note that Preference settings are saved each time you quit Photoshop. By default, Preferences are migrated from the prior version when you update to a new version of Photoshop. Also, keep in mind that other Photoshop settings and customizations are saved differently, such as your Workspaces, Actions, Swatches, Brushes and so on.
