Migrate Lightroom 5 catalogs to Ligtroom Classic

Several user report a problem that the recent version has sometimes problems to update catalog from Lightroom 6 an earlier.  Although is claimed to have fixed this issue, but it seems it doesn't really fixed.

For the workaround follow the steps below:

• Install LrC 13.2  https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/using/install-previous-version.html
• Start LR and upgrade the appropriate catalog
• Install the recent version of Lightroomo Classic 
• After starting LR upgrade the catalog again

There is no need to do any type of "importing" (Neither Importing a Catalog, nor importing photos).

If Lightroom-Classic has not automatically recognised your Lr5 catalog (and asked you to upgrade the catalog), then-

1) Close Lightroom-Classic

2) Find your Lr5 catalog with Windows FIle Explorer

3) [Double-Click]  the catalog  .LRCAT file to 'open' it

4) When it asks, Allow Lightroom-Classic to do the catalog upgrade making your catalog compatible with Lr-Classic.

Hint: Give the upgraded catalog a new name and set Preferences to always open this upgraded catalog.

Stuggling with importing my existing catalogs from Lightroom 5 into Lightroom Classic.

In what way? Please be specific and detailed. If there is an error message, please quote the complete exact unedited word-for-word error message.

Hi @drinkmoresake! 👋 Great to hear you’ve upgraded to the latest version of Lightroom Classic—exciting stuff!

When you launch the app for the first time, it should prompt you to open your catalog. Could you share a bit more about where you're getting stuck? Have you had a chance to follow the steps outlined here to upgrade your catalog? https://adobe.ly/4kCDR81

Happy to help you through it! 
Thanks!
