I have been running LR 4 on an older Mac Pro tower which is exhibiting signs of being close to death. I am fine buying a new mini mac and joining modern times by subscribing to LR (classic? is that correct?). My question is how do I migrate from this computer to the new one? My mac has lost it's wi-fi capabillity, so I'm unclear on how I will access everything on the new computer. My catalogue is backed up on the mac's hard drive.

Here's how to move to a new computer: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-move-lightroom-to-new-computer/
The old v4 catalog will be copied and the migrated to the current version once you open it for the first time in the current version, which is Lightroom Classic 14.1.1.

Thanks for this. I'm a little unsure about one thing, since my old computer is not able to connect to wifi, the article talks about moving via an external hard drive. Is it as simple as just moving the files from the old computer to the external drive & then from that drive to the new computer?
