Moving from PC to Mac (and from version 5 to Classic CC)

And that's all I know. LR Classic is now installed on the Mac. My pictures are still left on my PC, so now I guess I need a step-by-step instruction from someone who also has quite a bit of patience.
I suppose I could always move the files by using Dropbox. I'm far more anxious about getting all my tags and descriptions and editing with me.
Also, it's been a few years since I last worked with this, so I will also need a few lines about creating a new catalog, if that is needed.
Meanwhile, I'll read the manual the best I can.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot! I feel (quite) sure everything has been copied now, and I'm about to install on the Mac.
BUT: then there's the question, what is the correct procedure for starting up on Mac? The program is installed, and I have a vague idea of where to store the pictures, but I'm not quite sure about the further process, and so far I haven't been able to google an answer. Though I am pretty sure there must be a link for that as well. Anyway, thanks a lot for your reply. : -)

This is too vague. Please be more specific.

And I'm a little confused because the link I gave you contains every step you will need to complete this task.
