There are three ways you could do this:
1. Upload all into the Media Library
The most tiresome way, IMHO, is to upload all the images you got via the media library.
2. Use a plugin
You can use plugins like Add From Server to import your images easily to the Media Library
3. WP-CLI
Easiest way once you got WP-CLI installed. Run wp media import
to import all images easily.
Quoting an example:
# Import all jpgs in the current user's "Pictures" directory, not attached to any post
wp media import ~/Pictures/**\/*.jpg
