Move pictures out of Windows 10 photo app and into Windows 7 photo viewer.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

1. How exactly are you trying copy pictures from Windows 10 to Windows 7?

2. Do you want to change default photo app to Photo viewer?

You can move photos by copying to flash drive or external hard drive from Windows 10 and connect it to Windows 7 computer and paste in the desired location or folder.

As you have also mentioned that photos are also in OneDrive you can access in your Windows 7 computer too.

OneDrive is free online storage that comes with your Microsoft account. It’s like an extra hard drive that’s available from any of the devices you use.

You can also make photo viewer as default program from control panel to check if that helps.

Steps:-

• • • 
      Go to Control Panel from Start.
      
    • 
      Select Set Default Programs.
      
    • 
      Click on photo viewer .
      
    • 
      Select “Set this program as Default Program”
      
      
      

Hope this information helps. Kindly post back with the updated issue details for further assistance.

Thank you.
