Opening Catalog created on LR 6.6 with LR Classic? All Folders to reconnect to Collections ?

Question

I work on Lightroom 6.6 on Mac OS 10.11.6 but Having a new computer with a more recent Mac OS I am obliged to subscribe to Lightroom Classic (everything was so simple before),
I just wanted to know if with LR Classic, if I open a catalog created on Lightroom 6.6, I find all my Collections classifications and if it automatically connects to my source folders and files that I will have transferred to the new computer or if I will have to "reconnect" all the folders of my library with my sets of collections and collections. ??
Please tell me your experience if you have already had it or the precautions to take.
I looked everywhere, no information on this subject on the site (I specify that I will not use the Cloud under any circumstances and that I have all my source photo files on my computer hard drive)

Thanks
Pat from Paris

You may or may not need to reconnect. If the names of the disk drives on the new Mac are exactly (EXACTLY) the same as on the old Mac, you probably won't need to reconnect. You could also change the names to be EXACTLY the same before you launch LrC. (LrC doesn't work with original photos in the cloud)

If you do have to reconnect, here are some links:
