Moving from LR6 to LRC

[mikecanonbury]

I have LR6 on perpetual licence running on Apple IOS Sierra on a 2015 MacBook. I am moving to Apple Sequoia on a new MacBook which wont support the old LR6, so I need to subscribe to LRC. I want to ensure that all the photos (c150k) I have catalogued in LR6 come over in their existing folders to LRC. AND, of course, that all my edits come too. But as I don't use the cloud, I can't use the  'migrate' facility. So how do I do his? If I plug the hard drive where LR6 is stored - images, catalogues and edits - into the new MacBook with LRC installed, will LRC simply find them when I open it?

You purchase a subscription to the Adobe Photography Plan (20 GB storage) — and not the 1TB storage — and then you can use Lightroom Classic. Open Lightroom Classic (do NOT open Lightroom which is different software), then use the command File->Open Catalog, point to the Lr 6 catalog, it will be converted to LrC 14, and you're done.

Thank you for your reply.

Before buying LRC I opted for the 7 day trial to see how the catalogue
import would work, but there is no option available under File to select my
catalogue! See the screenshot of my File menu below. ALSO, I chose the
Lr/PS/LrC option but the free trial seems to only provide Lr when what I
want is LrC. Do you know anything about this?

Did you use the link to the Adobe Photography Plan that I gave above? The free trial should include LrC PS and Lr

If you open the Adobe Creative Cloud app, and then click on Apps (as shown below), you should see Lightroom Classic and for you the button should say "Install" whereas in the screen capture it says "Open"

Your screenshot is not available. Perhaps, did you reply via Email? That would cause that result.
