Moving Photos Library

I have a 2013 MacBook Pro running Catalina and use an external SSD to store it on. I just upgraded to the new 2021 16” MacBook Pro. I am unable to open the photos library on the new machine. Has anyone else run into this issue and if so is there a way to get it work?

Hi……It is formatted correctly and I have been using it to hold the photos library on my old Mac for a couple of years without any issue. When I plug it into the new Mac and select it as the location of my photos library it just freezes up photos and I eventually need to force the app to close. I can open it up no problem on the old Mac.
