Spinning Beachball of Death

[Danielle24246151x1vi]

Good morning!

I just upgraded to a 2016 Macbook Pro from the mid-2012 Pro. I installed Lightroom Classic and went to do some editing, but after clicking one button (or just waiting in Lightroom for a minute), the spinning beachball appears and doesn't let me use Lightroom. I've tried force quitting the application and going back into it, but it just repeats the same process. Both the Macbook and Lightroom Classic (V. 12.2.1) are up to date on everything. 

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Thank you!
