Launch Photos again, but hold down the alt/options key ⌥ while double clicking the Photos icon to launch the app. This will bring up the library chooser panel. select the library that you want to migrate to Photos.


After Photos completed the conversion, open the Preferences and select the new library as the main system library on the General tab of the Preferences.

Then you can delete the other migrated Photos library.
