I have been using Windows Live Photo Gallery on my older computer that is using Windows 11. Why can't I get it to work on my new computer that has Windows 11??? I made a direct transfer of all programs, files and folders from the old computer to the new one. I realize some programs I may have to reinstall or activate. But the new computer is not allowing me to do that with Photo Gallery.

Any way to get the Windows Photo Viewer & Windows Live Photo Gallery?

Windows (Live) Photo Gallery comes with Windows Essentials as a package. ( MS has removed the word "Live" ).
Do you have Windows Essentials installed ?
The package includes Photo Gallery, Movie Maker, Windows Live Mail, Windows Live Writer, OneDrive.
Windows Essentials - Microsoft Support

 

Windows 11 - Windows Live Photo Gallery is no longer available

Hi Bridget

A new laptop will not have the old Windows Live Photo Gallery application, that was deprecated by Microsoft in 2012.

On your Start Menu, you should see the new Photos App, which is used for managing your photos in Windows 11.

Alternatively, you could try to find an installer for Windows Live Essentials 2012 and see if that will install into Windows 11.

 

Re unable to find Windows Live Photo Gallery

Photo Gallery is Windows Live Photo Gallery, I think MS is just trying to lose the 'Live' moniker.
