Can .photoslibrary be accessed by new MacOS

I have been running El Capitan but will be purchasing a new computer that has Catalina.

my photos library is stored on an external drive and runs as it should and created using my old computer (el capitan).

when I get my new computer, can I just target the same photos .photoslibrary without any problems?

i know how to do it, just hoping it will do it and keep location, dates, any modifications etc.

cheers.
