  1. What happens to saved photos and files when switching OS?


    Hello,


    My PC is currently running on the Ubuntu operating system, however I plan to switch it over to Windows 10 this weekend. The only question I have: what happens to the photos and files I have already saved on my computer when I make the switch?


    I only ask because I have a lot of photos saved on my PC already, and I'm kind of scared to make the switch without knowing how I can protect them, or if I even need to protect them.


    Thank you so much in advance.

    :)

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

    I suggest you to follow the below steps to give permission for entire system, so that you can save the files in photos and documents.

    • Right click on the folder and click on properties.
    • Click on security tab and select the group\user name.
    • Click on edit option and check the option full control.
    • Click on apply and then on ok button.
    Now you can try saving the file in photos and documents and check if the issue persists.

    Saves log files ?

    You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

    Download CCcleaner from here...........

    CCleaner Professional | Try the world’s most trusted PC cleaner, free!

    You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.
