Question

Can't see previews of images after migration

Hi

 

I have recently migrated my catalogue from a very old version of lightroom to the most recent but even though the program knows where the files are located it is not showing any previews of my images, just greyed out boxes. I have tried deleting the preview files held but that hasn’t worked. I have also tried changing the colour space but that hasn’t worked either. 

Please help!
