I switched computers and lost all of my templates. Is there a way to import or re-upload without creating new ones?

Good day,
You need to move all your templates from the old computer to the new one with below path.
C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\*.oft
If you are using Kutools AutoText, please remember to export all autotest entries for back up.
