I'm sorry. Have you ever worked with computers before? When you buy a new computer you need to Copy over all your document, image, important files from the old to the new.

Just installing the LR program on a new computer doesn't do anything to include any and all of the images you may of had on the old computer.

Sure if you have a Cloud backup/storage service/system you could copy everything up to the clouds then download it to the new computer. But it would be much simpler and way faster to do it with either an external hard drive or across your home LAN (Local Area Network).

Adobe doesn't have your image files in the clouds and neither does the Classic versions of LR have your images stored in the clouds. They would be stored on the hard drives you have connected to your old computer.
