You can delete the iPhoto.app, but do not the iPhoto Library. The iPhoto Library is where your pictures have been stored by iPhoto. The Photos.app can open the iPhoto Library and give you access to your photos.

  • Launch Photos while holding down the options key ⌥.
  • Keep holding down ⌥ firmly, until you are seeing the library chooser dialog.
  • The release the options key and select the iPhoto Library you want to open in Photos.

Photos will now create a new library from the iPhoto Library. if you have more than one iPhoto library that needs migrating, open them all in turn this way.

Later you can switch between the new Photos Libraries by quitting Photos and double-clicking the library you want to browse.
