Photos replaced iPhotos several years ago. Launch Photos with the option key held down. From the resulting dialog, choose your iPhoto Library. Photos will use your iPhoto media to create a new library. Your iPhoto Library will not be changed.

I seem to have two libraries. I likely had them all along, but because I typically only used iPhoto, it was that library that was much bigger. Thus, my Photos Library was historically pretty sparse with respect to files within. So ... I have two libraries and it would be great to permanently (somehow) roll all the photos from the iPhoto Library into the 64-bit Photos Library. Then, whenever Photos is opened, it is drawing from the correct Library only.
