Looking for help finding my presets.

Replaced my hard drive with a SSD. Computer store did the job including removing all malware and cloning the drive data. With a little effort the things I need to work are working. Specifically I found my Lightroom catalog (which is on external drive). But my presets are gone. They are not that hard to redo but I’d rather not.

Suggestions on where they went and how to restore please. 🙏

Inside LR is a setting for storing the presets with the catalog. Make sure you enable this setting in the preferences going forward. If not set previously, the presets were stored under your profile. On a Windows 10 machine, it would be something like:

C:\Users\<user-profile-name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom

Inside this 'Lightroom' folder will be one or many subfolders.
