    Windows 10 Is PHOTO program/app necessary


    Hi, newbie who is ripping hair out with Windows 10.
    Is is OK to just have all my photos in a folder on the desktop? (I never use the cloud) and I can very easily get sub-folders in there.
    Do I need to use the frustrating Photo program that came with Win 10 for anything?
    I can't move things into folders I want, paste doesn't work, I can't rename things (found it in Explorer) but the whole thing is useless to me, I cannot manipulate anything and it is not intuitive.
    I have heaps of photos to sort from my old Windows 7 laptop (love).
    Some downloaded photos were automatically put in different folders not of my choice and too difficult to do what I want.
    Please help (it will also help others as I will pass it on to friends who no longer use their computers (except for email) since having Windows 10. And I'm a Volunteer radio operator at Marine Rescue, no-one could use Win 10 so we reverted back to Win 7 which we are still using!
    THANK YOU

    :)
