I am about to acquire a new mac. My 196,952 photos and videos are stored externally to Photos. So these are "referenced" photos. When I do the time machine restore onto a new disk how will Photos reference them or is there a way to relocate them to a newly named disk on my new mac.
MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.15
Are the referenced files stored on your current mac on the system volume or on an external volume?

The images are on my system volume. Because I will have both new and old mac around for a while, the new system volume name will not be the same on the two macs.
So I'm aware of the image by image reconnect feature. I also think there is a folder by folder reconnect feature. But does that imply I need to do the reconnect for all 196,952 files or for all 51,105 directories or can I do it for a single all-encompassing directory (Pictures) on my drive.
