I've got a new PC. Woo! However I obviously need to transfer my photography setup to the new PC. I'm sure it's as simple as importing my old Lightroom catalogue and re-syncing the photos to the new drive, as I have done in the past.
However.....
I can't help thinking a single 1.5Gb lightroom catalogue on the same hard drive (a 8Tb HDD) as my photos, containing all of my 5.7Tb of photos isn't the best way to manage my photos! It ran like a snail on my old PC - one of the reasons I upgraded.
What's the best way to transfer to a new PC and possibly set up and configure a new catalogue rather than just import (but without losing the metadata from the old one), and how would you best optimise and configure your system and Lightroom??
