Question

Importing keyword after imported catalog

Hi, I have used Lightroom 5 in many years, and now upgraded to Lightroom Classic on my Mackbook Pro (Sequoia). I have a new MacBook Pro and imported my about 90 000 pictures there. Unfortunaly the tagged keywords are not there with the pictures. This keyword jobb is many hours work during the years. Is there a method to import the keyword so that they are connected to respective picture? I have read a lot about metadata, but 'i can't figure out a way to do it. It's an understatement to say that I would be very very happy if there is some way to do it! BR Göran/Sweden

Why do you do a new import? There's no need to do that.

You can move your catalog from one to another computer.

If you're using a newer version the catalog  from a recent version will be updated.
