A keyword question

When I travel I process my images using an EHD, my laptop LR6 and PS, and keyword the processed images. When I return home I copy them into my desktop computer. My question: Will the keywords I attached from my laptop LR appear if I flag a keyword on my desktop LR or will I have to redo all of the keywords?

Two things:
First, make sure the box to write changes to xmp files is checked in the metadata tab of the catalog settings.

Second, when you return home, select all the images you want to transfer in LR and export them as a catalog in the File menu.

Then on the desktop, choose import from another catalog on the file menu.

LR will import the catalog and all the process changes will be reflected along with metadata, collections, etc.
