Moving Photos Library from External Hard-Drive to new Mac

Lacking space on my macbook pro, I managed to move my Photos Library from my laptop onto an external Hard-drive a little while back. But, more recently I've bought an iMac and would like to save/export the photo library from the external hard-drive permanently onto the iMac! I haven't managed to find any help on how to do this online! Is it possible? It would be a great help - thanks!

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15

How is the external HD formatted?


Just connect the drive to your Mac via cable. Select and drag the library into your Picture folder on the new MBP.
