I recently bought a new Mac and I need to configure Photos.app to use my massive 1.1TB Photos.app Library that I have stored on an external drive.
Thing is, I also have iCloud Photo Library enabled and when I initially tried linking the fresh install of Photos.app to the 1.1TB Library by holding the 'Option' key when first launching the app, I was given a warning that said:
Do I click 'Continue' or 'Cancel' when I get this message?
The 1.1TB Library that I am linking is already uploaded to iCloud, so it shouldn't take up any more space than has already been used. I just don't want to accidentally screw anything up and wind up with duplicates or have to reupload all 1.1TB of photos. How should I proceed? Thanks!
