Hi everyone,

I recently bought a new mbp and I used a time machine backup to copy my whole system from one machine to the other (at this moment i still use them both but will sell the other one).

Yesterday I restored my Photos app on the new mbp and I see now that it says
'Uploading 13.040 items (129 MB of 56,22 GB)'

I know that all those photos he's trying to upload are probably already in my iCloud.
What can I do best so I don't end up with a huge duplicate Photos app?
I was thinking about removing the whole Photos library on the new mbp and let it download it all again from the iCloud?

Extra info: I got 200 GB iCloud space and 2x MBP 15inch late 2015

Please your guy's opinion on this? ;)
Thank you!

Cheers
