Windows 10: How to crop a photo to 5 X 7 inches easily

Hi. I've read previous questions & answers, but these don't seem to solve the problem. I have Windows 10 & previously could easily crop photos via the Photos app to 5 x 7 inches via 'aspect ratio' . There seems to have been a change in the Microsoft photos app, where to re-size a photo, you can use a 'ratio' or a 'percentage', but neither of these seem to be the equivalent of a 5 x 7 inches photo crop. I have downloaded the Photos Legacy app, but I'm afraid the re-sizing choices are the same - ratio or percentage, not inches, or centimetres. Please help. I need a simple way to cro

Can't print 5 x 7

Windows 10 will not give me an option to print 5 x 7. My printer sets up fine for it but the Photos app won't list it. Only gives me choices of 4 x 6 inch, Letter, Legal, A4, Japanese Postcard, and 3.5 x 5 inch. How do I add 5 x 7 or is this not an option
with Windows 10?

How to print photos 5"x7"

Not a lot of detail there, so you're making me guess at what you mean.

Here's how I crop any photo to 5 x 7 and then print it:

1- Open the photo in the Photos app: Start > Photos

2- Click 'Edit & Create' in the top right corner and choose Edit.

3- Under 'Crop and Rotate,' under Aspect Ratio, choose a 5 x 7 aspect ratio. Make adjustments as you like.

4- In the lower right corner, click on the blue 'Save a copy' button. Give the copy a different name than the original.

5- Print the copy.
