Growing Pains Switching from Lightroom 6 to Lightroom

I am finally trying out Lightroom CC for real and, after major hurdles, was able to bring my Library over from Lightroom 6.  However, my History is missing and instead shows Transfer date only.  I seem to have lost my Flags as well so need to reassess my "curated" images.  Any feedback?  Thank you.

    Are you talking about Lightroom (Lr icon) or Lightroom Classic (LrC icon)? What version NUMBER?

     

    How did you "bring my library over"? Please explain the steps, leaving nothing out.

    So it is actually LrC version 13.0.1.  A Lightroom customer service rep did the transfer, with my assistance.  I believe we set up a new Folder and then moved (copied) all 21,700 files from my external harddrive to the new Folder so that Lightroom learned from where to pull the images.  Prior, every sub-folder showed 0 files, presumably because I had previously copied all files from an aging external drive to the new drive.  He first asked me to confirm that all files had been edited, the question which is still do not understand.

    So same computer that ran Lr 6 now running LrC 13.0.1, but photos transferred to different external drive. There are still some things I don't understand.

     

    However, my History is missing and instead shows Transfer date only.

     

    Did you import the photos into the LrC 13 catalog? Do you mean history shows the IMPORT date only?
