Recently purchased a MacBook Pro (Sonoma) and noticed that iPhoto is not supported. How can I access all the photos that I had on my older MacBook Pro?

Up until macOS Ventura the Photos app could open and convert iPhotos libraries. That is no longer supported.

The currently available option is to import the library as described in Import photos from another library in Photos on Mac - Apple Support

That will import the photos but not the Albums or Events organization of the photos.
