Windows 10: Re downloading pictures from a camera in latest version of Photos

Brand new version of Photos to me today; When downloading from camera, old version knew how many were new. New version does not. When I first opened it, there were a series of options I clicked through quickly, No notification this was a new version, and not realizing this was a new version. I may have nuked a setting, but in the setting window there are no options for downloading from cameras so old school! Windows 10.

When I take a photo of myself with my laptop camera, what directory is it placed in?

By default, your pictures should appear in your Pictures\Camera Roll folder. If they aren't there, follow these steps to figure out where they are being saved:

1. Take a picture with the camera app.
   
2. Click the thumbnail of the picture you just took at the bottom right of the app.
   
3. When the photo viewer opens, click the three dots (...) at the top right and select "File Info".
   

A panel will then appear and it will tell you the directory where your picture is located.

If you created your account picture by going to your account settings and then selecting "create your picture -> camera", then the picture will not have been stored in your camera roll. It will be located in %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\AccountPictures as mentioned by @kicken.

From the above description, I understand you want to know how to download pictures from camera into a specific file and share photos on Facebook.



Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:

I suggest you to check if you are able to transfer the photo files to the PC on connecting the camera.
