Opening photo library from an old iMac

How do I transfer a photo library from a old iMac to a new one? I get the error that Photos can't open a library that has already been migrated.

iMac 24″, macOS 11.5

Hi, I am attempting the same migration. The photos seem to have migrated, but I cannot view. An error message is presented when I attempt to view:


Error Downloading Photo

An error occurred while loading a higher quality version of this photo. Please try again later.


I tried again later and received the same message. I can access the existing pictures in Photos. I cannot view the migrated pictures. However, the videos migrated and can be viewed just fine. Is there something else I can do to access the pictures here?
