Hi 

1.

I installed lightroom 

There are three monitors connected to my Macbook Pro

I want to display the photos on my second monitor 

According to the instructions I need to navigate to "window" and select "second monitor", but this option does not exist in my menu  

2. 

The option of Monitor 1 and Monitor 2 also does not exist under lightroom

Which "Lightroom" did you install? There are two current versions, one is Lightroom Classic which DOES support a second window, the other is the cloud-centric app called simply Lightroom which does NOT support a second window.

How can I verify my version

From System Info: "Lightroom version: 5.5 MAS arm64 [ 20220803-1612-16f3c2a ] (Aug 3 2022)"

"Lightroom version: 5.5" is the cloud-centric version which does not support a second window.

Are you sure it was your intention to use Lightroom (which stores your images in the Adobe cloud), or were you looking to install the Lightroom Classic version, which uses images stored on local hard drive(s) and which also supports a second window (among many other features that Lightroom does not have yet)?
