Hi @pasi_0778, welcome to the community!
Quick question: are you using Lightroom Desktop (Lr icon) or Lightroom Classic (LrC icon)? Just asking because it makes a difference on Windows ARM devices.

Lightroom Desktop runs natively on ARM, so it’s generally smoother. Lightroom Classic, on the other hand, runs through emulation, which can cause some limitations. If you're curious, here's a link with more info on known issues:

If you’re using Lightroom Classic and need to move your catalog, this guide should help:

And if you’re on Lightroom Desktop, your work should sync automatically once you log into the correct account.
Let us know how it goes or if you need help with anything else.
Cheers,
