Photo Library To Import is Greyed Out

I am trying to import a Photoslibrary into my system Photoslibrary.


When I select File: Import, the Photoslibrary I want to import from is greyed out.


I have ensured that both laptops have the same version of MacOS Big Sur 11.6.1


I have run repair on both Photoslibraries


I have tried importing the system Photoslibrary into the other Photoslibrary but that also is greyed out.


I have iCloud off for photos.


Any help would be greatly appreciated

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

I believe I have found my problem - The import Photoslibrary is only available on Big Sur, not Monterey.

Fortunately the laptop can be updated to Big Sur.

Going to try it now.

No accurate and disagree.


Am on Monterey and Photo >> Import is available


Import photos from another library in Photos on Mac and the key words from that linked files are " you can import photos and videos from another Photos library, as long as the library you want to import from doesn't have iCloud Photos turned on
