I am in the process of setting up a new computer that I built. I want to move my LR presets and PS actions to the new machine. Is there a way to do this? I have the photography plan through Adobe. Thanks.
Here is an AI-generated text from adobe.com. (I love their disclaimer: "Generative AI overviews are experimental. Quality may vary.")
"Locations of Presets in Adobe Software
Presets in Adobe software are stored in specific folders depending on the application and operating system:
Adobe Photoshop:
On Windows, user presets are typically stored in Users[user name]AppDataRoamingAdobeAdobe Photoshop [version]Presets[feature name].
On macOS, user presets are stored in Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop [version]/Presets/[feature name].
Default presets that ship with Photoshop reside in the Photoshop program folder.
Adobe Lightroom Classic:
On Windows, presets are stored in C:Users[user name]AppDataRoamingAdobeLightroom[preset or template folder][preset or template filename.lrtemplate] or in C:Users[user name]AppDataRoamingAdobeCameraRawSettings for XMP presets.
On macOS, presets are stored in /Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/[preset or template folder]/[preset or template filename.lrtemplate] or /Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/Settings for XMP presets.
Presets can also be stored with the catalog if the option is enabled.
Note: Some preset folders may be hidden by default in Windows. You can enable viewing hidden files and folders via the Control Panel.

I had found some of that in a search. I wish the settings would hold in CC so they could easily be put on a new machine. I found them but haven't been able to move the presets in LR. Actions, I got done ok.
(.lrtemplate) Presets or templates in the .lrtemplate format are stored at: C:Users[user name]AppDataRoamingAdobeLightroom[preset or template folder][preset or template filename.lrtemplate]
(XMP) Beginning with Lightroom Classic, the existing presets in the .lrtemplate format are automatically converted to a new XMP preset format. After conversion, the new XMP presets are saved at: C:Users[user name]AppDataRoamingAdobeCameraRawSettings
Note: Some folders may be hidden by default. On Windows, enable viewing hidden files via
Control Panel>Folder Options.
