Catalina iPhoto library and 2015 iPhoto

Am trying to drag, drop, and import my iPhoto library from 2015 via a Toshiba HDD hard drive and my MacBook Pro (2019) freezes every time I drop the file into iPhoto. It is 1.32G.

You're not supposed to import it that way. Launch Photos with the Option key held down, click on Other Library, and choose it.


If you're trying to merge them, follow the instructions above, set each as the System Photo Library, upload it to the iCloud, and download the combined one. Alternatively, download and use PowerPhotos.
