Converting an old IPhoto library to Photos on new machine running Monterey
I've been happily working away on an old macbook running OSX 10.9.5 for years, but it has finally become obsolete and I have just purchased a 2019 imac running Monterey 12.6.1. I want to convert my Iphoto library to a Photos library and I have seen a lot of advice here about doing that. My question is this: A lot of people recommend repairing your Iphoto library before importing it. Do I need to do that? If it is currently running ok on the old machine, what do I accomplish by repairing the library? Thanks!
