An "old LR catalog" might suggest you had Lightroom (Legacy 'Standalone' Versions 1-6). In that case you would need to upgrade your 'old' catalogs with Version 13, now known as Lightroom-Classic, and then use the 'Migrate' function to migrate the (upgraded) Lr-Classic catalog to Lightroom-Mobile.

Without a subscription that includes Lr-Classic, the one way to do this is to use an installed 7-day trial of Lr-Classic to migrate the catalog.

 

Alternatively- if your photos have saved metadata (ie. Lightroom has 'saved metadata to files') then a simple Import of the photo files from the hard-drive will preserve edits and keywords, but not Collections, virtual copies, etc.

For details see- MIGRATE TO LIGHTROOM CLOUD 

 

 

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.3, Photoshop 27.5, ACR 18.3, Lightroom 9.3, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.3 .
