Uassets not recognized in new version

Hey everyone. A friend sent me a collection of uassets from an old project. The version was 5.2. I’m in 5.5 and trying to import them. I manually moved them into the project folder in Windows Explorer, and UE recognizes the folders exist, but it’s not recognizing any of the files, so nothing appears.

Not sure what’s going on here but any help would be appreciated.

the proper way would be to open the original project and migrate those assets to the new one. via right click> migrate.

if you copy them manually you’ll have to ensure teh path is correct.
