First, please do us all a favor and do not type in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.
Please provide exact version numbers of your software and operating system. We need the version numbers and not words like "latest" or "up-to-date".
Please explain the problem in a lot more detail, what you did step-by-step, leaving nothing out, and exactly what happened. If there is an error message, please quote the exact unedited word-for-word error message.

What specifically happens when you try to open your Catalogs? Please share screen captures of any warning dialogs. The more information that you can provide the better.

Possibly- An 'old' version of Lightroom will not open a Catalog from a 'newer' version.
Catalogs are not 'backwards' compatible.
eg. Lr-Classic v9 cannot open v10 Catalogs.
And if you 'open' a v9 catalog in LrC v10.x then an upgraded copy of the catalog is created.
