Q: Move Photos v1 Library to a computer with Photos v2
I have a small Photos Library (2 GB) on a desktop computer that cannot be upgraded to Sierra (using Photos v1). I want to move the library to a laptop that has been upgraded to Sierra (Photos v2). I simply copied the library from the desktop to the “Pictures” folder on the laptop. I launched Photos on the laptop while holding the option key down so I could select the v1 library. I got the expected “Updating Library” message and progress bar. In no time at all Photos opened and there were no photos in the “updated” library. I looked at the library in the Finder and it went from 2 GB to 15 mb.
How do you update a v1 library to v2?
