Windows 10: Move files from "photos" to "pictures"windows 10

I seem to have 2 separate locations for photos since getting a new pc with windows 10.

If I wish to upload a photo to a website ads etc. the "pictures" folder opens, but the picture required may be in "photos" app?

Can I transfer all photos from "photos" to "pictures"? so all photo files are in the same place?

Hope this makes sense.

I am pc illiterate! Well not quite

Thanks

:)

 

I am wanting to know how to move pictures from the Windows photo file to my computer photo file.

Hi Trisha,

• When you say, "Windows photo file" are you referring to Windows photo app?
• When you say, "computer photo file" what exactly are you referring to?
• Do you get any error message when you try to move?

I suggest you to copy and paste the pictures and check if this helps.

• Open the picture which you want to move, right click on it and select copy.
• Go to the location where you want to move, right click and paste it.

Write us back with the above information and status of the issue to assist you further.

Thank You.

 

MOVING ALL PICTURES/VIDEOS FROM THE PHOTO APP TO PICTURE FILE

'My Pictures' did show an access denied message, but this was solved. 'My pictures' only had some of the missing pictures in it.

Pictures in question were transferred from an external hard drive when I purchased this computer. The computer had Windows 8 and I updated to Windows 10. The photos have ended up in The Photo App. I need to be able to access all the photos. I have purchased
a new hard drive, can I transfer the photos from the Photo App and transfer them back to the computer so they go to pictures in This PC? HOW?

I have tried to make Windows Photo Viewer my default program but I can't successfully do that. I can view the photos in The Photo App and Windows Media Player.
