[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1951326, member: 204485"] IF you do wish to transfer all of your photos from your PC to your Mac migh I suggest using a somewhat mechanical method. The are multiple ways of achieving the task but the most foolproof would be to use a "transfer device". Say you had a 100GB USB "thumb" drive. It will most likely have a USB-A plug. Your Mac may only have USB-C ports so you would need a USB-A to USB-C adapter but these are easily obtained. With that you could go to one of your yearly folders eg. 1999 and selecting ALL pics in the folder drag them to the USB drive. Eject it then plug it into the Mac. Open the Photos application on the Mac and Import the contents of the USB drive. Alternatively open the USB drive on the Mac and drag the the contents to the Photos app Icon. This will give you an opportunity to see how your photos are displayed on the Mac and if your Metadata is all intact. You can experiment with editing and creating Folders in the sidebar. For example you could create a folder in the sidebar called 1999, select all of your imported photos R Click on them and Move to Folder ie. Folder 1999. Essentially this is a simple procedure, drag and drop but there will be questions and options along the way that I cannot predict. For example you may need to Format the thumb drive as FAT32 on the Mac first to presrve your Metadata or the USB drive may not show up on your Mac desktop until you select that option in Finder Settings.
