Windows 10: Microsoft Photos download

Since a modification on 3/12/2020 to Microsoft Photos I'm no longer able to designate how photos will be downloaded. There used to be an option to download by date, month etc which is now missing.

I was also unable to change which folder to download to, but following reset yesterday, it now downloads to the correct folder, but just dumps the photos there.

Downloading from Panasonic digital camera.

I have followed the steps but "Import/Export photos doesn't appear in the dropdown list. Since this is the first time I am downloading into this computer with Windows 10 it was suggested that I need to load new drivers but I can't seem to find them.
