Have booted the new computer but can't see how I do that. There isn't even an iCloud icon in System Preferences.

Assuming the new computer is running Ventura you will find iCloud settings by...
  1. Opening System Settings
  2. clicking on Apple ID
  3. click on iCloud
  4. click on iCloud Options
  5. Select the folders and applications you want to synchronize

Assuming it was synched in your old system, YES!
