Yes you either need to add your own custom settings to the default 15 work Environment or use your 14 one and add the new features of 15.
Either way what I do is open 2 copies of Archicad.
Load the default WE in one and your custom 14 WE in the other.
Then you can switch between them and compare the differences.
Which one you adjust doesn't matter - just save it as a new 15 WE.
