As above follow that link.Basically you Copy the Folder the catalog is in over to the new computer. That will copy the catalog and all needed subfolders.Copy all your images from the old computer to the new computer keeping the Exact same folder structure.Purchase the Photography plan subscription and install LR 8.2.1 on your new computer.When LR opens for the first time it should find your original LR 6 catalog and ask you if you want to Upgrade it. Select YES.LR 8.x will then make a Copy of the LR 6 catalog and upgrade that copy. Leaving your LR 6 catalog intact.
