Chances of going to top Comp. Sci. MS program with CC UC transfer undergrad vs CSU undergrad

I’m a retired software developer with an undergrad degree in CS and a master’s in Industrial Engineering.

It’s too early for you to stress about graduate school. You don’t really need a graduate degree to get a job, and unless you focus on something in grad school that’s especially in demand by employers, employers will value your work experience as much as, or more, than graduate school.

If your grades are as bad as you say they are, CS may not be the field for you, although having said that, I was a terrible student in high school and my first couple years of college. Going into the military for four years between my sophomore and junior year gave me time to become mature enough to become more serious about school. (Not that I’m telling you to go into the military.)
