To open your iPhoto Library in Photos, hold down the options key ⎇ while launching Photos. This will bring up a dialog to select a library. Select the iPhoto Library and then wait, while Photos is creating a new library from the iPhoto Library.

I had Photos create a new library from my iPhoto Library, however..... now it appears that there are 2 separate iPhoto libraries - it seems to have duplicated my old iPhoto Library and then converted it into an iPhoto library for Photos. Am I able to delete the old iPhoto library? Or will that also delete all of my old iPhoto library from Photos as well?
