Transition problem from LR 6.0cc to Current Desktop Version

Question

I've been using LR for a long time, but made the switch from Classic to LR 4.2 due to camera upgrade to Canon R6.

None of my old LR Classic photos / files imported.

Can they be imported? If so, how? Also, i'd really appreciate specific details. "Just go get 'em" isn't very helpful. I'm been trying that for a while and coming up short. 🙂

Thanks a bunch

Michael

Lightroom 6 was not Lightroom Classic, and the catalog you used with that version is not compatible and cannot be migrated to Lightroom for the cloud. It will be necessary for you to install the trial version of Lightroom Classic long enough to enable it to convert the catalog to the new format. Then Lightroom 4.2 can use that catalog to migrate. After you have used Lightroom Classic to convert the catalog you can uninstall  it.
