iPhone 12 iCloud photos

New iPhone 12 with 15 years of photos. Want to use iCloud photos. Says 10,000 photos uploaded in finder will be deleted. We use to use iTunes to sync before iCloud. Why? Are we losing photos?

One cannot sync photos to a device using both iTunes/Finder and iCloud as it’s one or the other. Therefore the message means that if you choose to use iCloud, all Finder synced photos will be removed.
