If you're running Ventura on the new M1 you will not be able to migrate an iPhoto library to Photos. The last system to be able to do that was Monterey.

If you can get your library on an external drive and connect it to a Mac running Monterey or earlier you can migrate the library to Photos. Then connect the EHD to your M1 and update it to the latest Photos version.

Transfer the iPhoto library to the new laptop.

Launch Photos with the option key held down.

Choose your iPhoto Library.

Photos will create a new Photos Library that will let you access your images.
