How do I get my Classic library into Lightroom without erasing my existing content?

Question

I've been using the latest cloud-based version of Lightroom for a few years now, but I still have an extensive library saved from my Lightroom Classic. I'd like to get all my albums and photos I've already developed in Classic over to the new version, but I'm concerned that using the migrate feature will overwrite the content I've already put into my current version of Lightroom. Is this how it works, or will it just add my Classic content to my existing Lightroom content?

It should just add your migrated photos to your existing cloud content.
It's best to read the Adobe documentation, especially the sentence regarding creating Collections from Folders.

Also, maybe watch sone YouTube videos to garner as much information as possible.

Here's Laura Shoe's one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RK9PCD1Sj5A
It's quite old and Lightroom CC is now just Lightroom, but it explains things well as I don't believe the process has changed much.
