Q: photos Library could not be opened.

How do I migrate my photo library? Every time I open photos it takes me to the error page and  I can do nothing else.

    TO start remember we can not see you so you have to tell use details

     

    Like what is the error message? What recently changed? What version of the OS and of Photos?

     

    THe answer to how to migrate is to drag the iPhoto library to the Photos icon in the dock
