How to Batch Click the "Update" Button on All Images After Migrating from Legacy LR?

I migrated my catalog from an older version of Lightroom (Cloud Based) and there's now a legacy settings message with an "update" button any time I try and edit an image.  If I click the button it retrieves as many of my old edits as it can and I can edit, which is fine, but do I really have to click this button manually on every one of my thousands of images?  Is there no way for me to tell Lightroom to just migrate all my images?

This is Ligtroom, not Lightroom Classic.  Sorry, doesn't look like I can edit my post.

Windows 10 x64.  Just installed Lightroom and imported my old Lightroom desktop catalog.  Noticed that every image I click on gives me that message and I can't edit until I click the button.  Makes it impossible to bulk edit any of my albums without first going through and clicking on that message on every single image.  I'm trying to find away to just tell them all to update so the messages go away and I can work on my images.
