What will happen to my photos if I upgrade my 2019 Mac from Mojave to Catalina?

Hello,


I have a 2019 Mac running Mojave 10.14.6 and Photos 4. I need to upgrade it to Catalina so my daughter can run specific software on it for school. My question is, will my photo library be affected if I do this? Anything I should know before I download Catalina and get started? Thank you!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14

Back up all your data before doing the upgrade.


Also, be aware that after installing Catalina, the first time you open Photos your photo library will be upgraded to the new version.
