Yes...the correct catalog is shown in Preferences, however, in my case the folder it's is stored in has some old catalog info as well. To ensure a smooth transfer, would I select all files that have Lightroom Cat 2021-v12 in their name and copy them to a new folder on my internal SSD?

Lightroom Cat 2021-v12 Smart Previews, Lightroom Cat 2021-v12.lrcat-data, Lightroom Cat 2021-v12.lrcat, Lightroom Cat 2021-v12.lrcat.lock, Lightroom Cat 2021-v12.lrcat-shm and Lightroom Cat 2021-v12,lrcat.wal. On closer analysis, I was out to lunch on file sizes. Assuming the total is a reasonable size and would still allow sufficient free space after copying to the SSD. If the size is too large, I would go with an external SSD. instead.
