Macbook Air - 2015 - iPhoto / Photos Problem

[wrinkster22]

Hi,

I am running a 2015 MacBook air on Sierra 10.13.16

Prior to getting this Mac, I dragged my iPhoto library onto an external hard drive. I would like to view those photos somehow, but apparently it is more difficult that I imagined.

I think it might be because I have photos now, not iPhoto. When I try to click on iPhoto library it presents me with this message

"The content of the iPhoto library “iPhoto Library” has already been migrated to Photos. Open Photos to view your library or use a compatible version of iPhoto to open this iPhoto library."

How do I view these photos? How do I update the iPhoto library to a photo library?

Photos should update the iPhoto Library to a Photos Library the first time you run it.

Did you look around for a Photos Library with the same name as the iPhoto Library?

Open Photos to view your library

Do your pictures not appear in Photos?
