- Lightroom Version Number
- upgrading from LR6 on old Windows 8 laptop to LR Classic on new Windows 10 laptop
- Operating System
- Windows 8
- Windows 10
Greetings!
This is my first ever post and I am a desperate "old" woman who recently had a mini stroke and cannot always think clearly. I have been using LR since 2009 and was very resistant to moving to the Cloud subscription version. Most recently I was using LR6 on a Windows 8.1 laptop (17" screen).
I broke down and bought the Adobe Photography Plan subscription in May 2019. Although I was able to install and use Photoshop CC on my Windows 8 laptop, LRC would not install on my Windows 8 laptop so I continued using my old standalone LR6. But strangeness then happened. Slowly I noticed that whenever I was using my very own LR6, under the Help menu it would say that I was using Lightroom CC.
Then the kicker happened this past July. Hubby has a MacBook and he installed both my Photoshop and Lightroom cloud versions (from my subscription which allows two computers) on his MacBook so I could see if I liked using them on his MacBook. I don't like Macs, but when I tried to go back and use Photoshop and LR6 on my Windows 8.1 laptop, all of a sudden I got error messages that the operating system was too old and neither Photoshop nor LR6 would open up at all on my laptop. So now as of two days ago I have a brand new Windows 10 laptop and I need to "move" my LR6 catalogs and presets and everything to my new Windows 10 laptop (still with 17" screen, but went from over 7lbs to under 3 lbs).
Luckily for the past many years I have been keeping all my photos plus the LR catalog backups and previews on a huge external drive, and everything is underneath a folder called Lightroom Transfer. But I don't know where my LR presets are kept, and I cannot open LR at all on my old laptop to find out where they are kept. I have no idea how to find them to move them? What is the file extension for LR presets? Any help that anyone can give this feeble minded old woman would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you, and have a Blessed day!
