Q: I need disk space - can I move Photos Library?

Mac mini (mid 2011)

2.3 GHz Intel core i5

8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

OS X El Capitan version 10.11.2

 

I have a nice big fat external hard drive, but I'm running out of space on my system hard drive.  I haven't been able to do several updates lately because it says I'm out of space. 

 

My Photos library is pretty big, over 152 GB. I want to know if I can move that library to my external hard drive and free up that space.

 

I just want to be sure that I do it the right way without destroying what I've got already.

 

Does anybody have any good instructions or Tips?

 

Thanks,

Mike
