Okay, thanks guys, however… Not sure if was the complexity of my system, local stupidity, or uncooperative gods, but wasn't that easy. First I had to shut down the old external drive that held the library. Scratched my head for a minute. Meet the new library just like the old library Logical so lets call that dumb. I then selected the entire catalog and told it to import. Went to lunch. Back - nope. Did some other work. back - nope. Walked off, went out to work, came back to the iMac, and done? Nope Lr frozen as hard as the North Pole.
Stomped about saying bad words, scratched my head, and tried a lower level folder. No problem. Then took a chance on a top level folder. Slow but done. So I went thru and imported one high level folder at a time. Even though the entire library is on the 4 TB boot drive, Lr was slooooooow. Had to leave it and come back over an afternoon.
Finally everything is there including all the ID, names, structure, comment data, but… none of them had standard sized previews. So one folder at a time (not going to catch me again ha ha ha ) went Library -> Previews -> Full Sized
So, I'm there. Things are a lot fast between the SSD boot and the higher powered machine. >fast -> >power.
In 30+ years of computing (Damn, I lived BC - Before Computers) I've updated/done clean installs more times that I can count. This was worse than any 5 combined. Adobe still doesn't have a real DAM, and don't get me started on the idiots at 1Password Don't use their program.
Thanks again
