Windows 10: How do I transfer photos in Windows 10 to my external hard drive

How do I transfer photos in Windows 10 to my external hard drive

:)

 

Photo transfer to Windows 10 from external hard drive

I have copied all my photos (318 GB) from my desk top computer to an external hard drive so that I may transfer them to Windows 10 on a new laptop. The instructions for doing so are not clear. A Microsoft page says "Open photo gallery" and "Click home
tab".

Is "photo gallery" the same as "photos' on my Windows 10 desk top? If it is, what and where is the "home Tab"? \\

Help please

 

unrecognised external hard drive on Windows 10

Since you already reinstalled the drivers of the External Hard Drive, let's run the
Hardware and Devices troubleshooter as it can resolve your concern. You can do that by following these steps:

• 
  Press the Start button.
  
• 
  Type and select Troubleshooting.
  
• 
  Click on View all on the left panel.
  
• 
  Select and run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter.
  

If the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter doesn’t resolve your concern, we suggest that you change the letter of the External Hard Drive. You can do that by following these steps:

• 
  Press the Start button.
  
• 
  Type and select Control panel.
  
• 
  Select System and Security.
  
• 
  Select Administrative Tools, and a new window will appear.
  
• 
  Double-click Computer Management, and a new window will appear.
  
• 
  Select Disk Management that is located under
  Storage in the left pane.
  
• 
  Right click on the External Hard Drive that is not showing on the File Explorer.
  
• 
  Select Change letter and network path, and a new window will appear.
  
• 
  Select Change, and choose the letter that you want for the External Hard Drive.
  

After changing the letter of the External Hard Drive, we suggest that you reboot your laptop for the changes to take effect.



Let us know how it goes.
