I just purchased and loaded PSE 15.  I have been using PSE 12.

How do I move the catalog with tags from 12 to 15.  The conversion during installation failed ( over 100,000 photos)

thanks for the help

    Read this and if that does not help, please give more details.

    I assume you have both PSE12 and PSE15 on the same computer.

    Is there something special in your catalog: many videos, people recognition ?

    Can you successfully perform a full backup on an external drive?

    I have performed a successful backup to the hard disk.  I now have a external hard drive and do another backup to the external hard drive.

    Yes, I do have people tagged, places named and other comments that I do not want to lose.

    Yes, Elements 12 and 15 are both on the same computer.

    If you can perform a backup that should exclude a problem file blocking the conversion process.

    Please report back.
