Question

lightroom 5.7.1 to current lightroom classic?

I need to update Lightroom 5.7.1 to allow functionality with Nikon Z cameras.  What is the best way to do this?  Can I skip version 6 etc and go direct to the most current?  And will may current photos/catalogs be updated?  Sorry for the basic questions.  Been a happy user of 5.7.1 for a while and now my head's up out of the "book" and I realize I am several generations behind.

    Thank you for your replies.

    I have the new version of lightroom installed (classic CC).  When I go to File there is no option to select File > open catalog.  ??  So there seems no way to update or import my existing catalog from 5.7.1

    What am I doing wrong?

    for the nikon z6 you need lr classic 8.1 or later.

    the new version of lr should update your catalog, http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_sl_mostpopular.html
