Problem moving catalog for elements 15 on Windows 10

I'm trying to move a catalog db and CameraRaw db from a win xp/Elements 7 installation to Win 10/Elements 15. The catalog gets moved, but RAW files from only one camera are not present.  All other camera RAW files move and all non raw, mainly jpeg, also move.  The CameraRaw db works with the RAW files that transferred and if I manually reimport the RAW files that didn't make the xfer.  However, manually importing the missing RAW files is not a good option, because all the version sets and import batch matching v the edited/manipulated versions stays broken. Has anyone dealt with this kind of problem?

I don't understand what you are trying to do by 'moving' catalog.db files: the catalogs are folders. They include databases like catalog.pse15.db and many other files and subfolder. You have to convert the catalogs (the whole folders) to the new format by using the relevant button in the catalog manager. That creates a copy of the catalog in the new format.

I did not move just the .pse7db file, I moved the whole database (Whole catalog folder).

Yes, you can move the whole catalog folder and it will be available to pse7, but you have to convert it for pse15 from the catalog manager.
