catalogue problem

I downloaded LR 14.4 a few days ago and edited a couple hundred pictures. i use a 14 TB hard drive at home. I am now travelling and use a smaller 2TB drive which I then copy tomy home hard drive, and when I tried to open LR it couldn't find a version 14 catalogue. I looked on my computer's hard drive and the only catalogues are for version 13.3. Since LR doesn't recognize older catalogue versions I'm kind of stuck. Should I create a new catalogue for the trip and when I get home try to merge the old 13.3 version with the new 14 version, or can I update the version 13.3 catalogue to new version 14 catalogue, if so how? Or is there another solution?

 

Thank you for your help

OK.It turns out the new catalogue ended up in the v 13.3 folder and didn't work from there. I moved the eight files  into a folder with today's date and it now works. Yay.

I tried going through the renaming of catalogue process (I found a post about this), but that doesn't seem to be working. Lightroom still won't give me a catalogue
