Lightroom CC freezes when upgrading a catalog

Hi

I just got lightroom creative cloud yesterday.  I've been trying to use it, but when I try to open my old (lightroom 3) catalog, it tries to upgrade.  When it gets to "preparing new searchable data," it just gets stuck about half-way through.

I tried leaving it overnight last night, & it still didn't work.

I tried sitting at my computer for a few hours today, to babysit it, and that didn't work.

I tried restarting the computer.  That hasn't worked. 

When I try to cancel the upgrade, it just freezes & I have to force the program to quit. 

Some additional information:

*I'm using a PC (windows 10)

*My internet connection comes and goes.  Part of me wonders if it needs to be connected to the internet because of the Cloud?  Although, I've had it connected for a good hour now, and that hasn't seemed to help....

Thanks in advance!

looks like it finally worked.  ...I had a couple external hard drives plugged in.  I unplugged them,and things went a little faster.

See here Lightroom 5 stuck in "Preparing new searchable data"  and here Re: Importing LR4 catalog into LR5 freezes at "preparing new searchable data point"  It appears that setting affinity to reduce cores used (if you have more than 2) can make a big difference.  If you don't have many images and your drive is fast and you're on a dual core, you're more likely to have another issue.
