I've just encountered a situation where, for the first time since I started designing, I am switching from one desktop to another with a completely new OS (Win 8.1 instead of Win 7) and will be required to "start fresh", as it were.

Do you all, as graphic designers, have specific tools or procedures that would be useful to know for porting over all of your custom fonts, brushes, presets, workspaces, palettes, and everything else? Any systems in place that allow for you to install and hit the ground running as fast as possible?

I'm currently using Adobe CS 5.5 (likely upgrading to CC) along with a number of fonts I've downloaded over the past year.
