Set up a new Mac Mini M4 Pro and transfer old catalogue from an intel chip iMac

Question

I am setting up a new Mac Mini M4 Pro.  My old iMac is a late-2015 Intel chip and I have been advised to do a 'clean install' to avoid bringing over any Intel problems.  When I set up the new Mac, I will need to download a new version of Creative Cloud.  I assume it will install Lightroom v14 (or later).  My current Lr catalogue is 13.3.  When I transfer the old catalogue over to the new Mac (with a newer version of Lightroom) will the old catalogue still work; or will it be automatically updated; or will there be a disconnect that will cause me a problem?

LrC 14 will ask you if you want to upgrade the catalog. You reply in the affirmative. Then you wait a minute or two, and that's it, you are ready to go with your LrC 14 catalog. That's it.
