Can you use migration assistant to transfer iPhoto to photos

I have a MacBook with Mac OS X Lion and iPhoto and I need to move the iPhoto images to my new MacBook Pro Photos. How do I do this using migration assistant or another method?

I want to be able to keep the images organized in folders or albums like they are now in iPhoto.

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14

moving an iPhoto library to new Mac mini via thumb drive I have a new Mac mini M2 with a 1tb hard drive and two very old Macs (2009, 2010) one of which has iPhotos. I do not want to use migration assistant because I only want to move the libraries and select files. I moved the iPhoto library onto a thumb drive but did not format it first. it is formatted in fat32. do I need to start over and reformat? How do I import the library into photos on the new Mac ? Are multiple photos libraries useful and if I start with multiple photos libraries can I merge them later? if I merge them, will duplicate photos be recognized so I can delete them? Finally, will all the data (dates, editing and etc.) be saved when the iphoto library is imported onto my new Mac? Thank you for any assistance! I love my new pristine Mac and want the cleanest install I can have!
