Categorizing issues when moving Elements 10 from one PC running XP to Windows 7

I purchased a new desktop that is Windows 7 based and had to reinstall Elements from XP. I saved all my 13,000 photos to an external drive and then downloaded them onto my new desktop with Elements 10. I noticed that the photos were NOT categorized. How do I correct this?

    The information in your photographs is stored in a catalog file. If you have lost the catalog file, there isn't much you can do about it. For more information, see How Do I Transfer my Photoshop Elements Catalog to a New Computer?

    Thank you for this information. I am currently performing a full backup of my photos (13,000 photos) to an external drive from my old PC (old PC is about 5 years old). So far it has been running about 24 hours. Do you have any idea how long it should take for this many photos to be backed up on a PC that is this old? Any guidelines would be appreciated…..
