I tried to move my Photos library from a external HDD to a new external SDD. My library size is about 1.5TB. New SSD is a 2TB drive. For the "old" library (HDD) iCloud is activated. I followed the steps in this article:
Move your Photos library to save space on your Mac

Then i designated the "new" library (SSD) as System Photo Library:
Designate a System Photo Library in Photos
https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204414
Now i tried to activate iCloud for the new System Library and Mac OS gives me this following error:
error message:
Your full-resolution photos and videos stored in iCloud will not fit on this Mac.
The library on this Mac can be optimised to take up less space. All your full-resolution originals will be stored in iCloud and accessible in the Photos app. Time Machine will no longer back up all full-resolution originals.
Cancel - Optimise Storage
Has anyone an idea how to fix this?
