I started the Lightroom trial a few days ago and uploaded/edited over 250 photos. I want to print so went ahead and installed Lightroom Classic. How do I export all the pictures I already saved in Lightroom to Lightroom Classic? (Or import from the regular Lightroom to Classic?)

Simplest way is to turn on Sync in Lightroom Classic. All your images will get downloaded with all the edits intact into the Classic catalog. Do note that if you have a lot of images and littel space on your internal hard disk, you would need to make sure to set the location for the Lightroom Sync in Classic to an external hard disk or a NAS. Classic does not work the same way as Lightroom Cloudy as it needs all images to be local and can't use the cloud in the same way as Lightroom Cloudy.
