Migrating from Windows to a Mac

[robinr17377189]

I am moving to a Mac.  All (40,000) of my photos and related catalogues and back ups were created in windows and are stored on external drives.  Once I install Lightroom on the new Mac, can I simply plug in the drive and have full access to my photos?
