    How can I use albums with photos on an external hard drive?

    When I make an album using photos on an external hard drive, when I unplug the hard drive the photos get removed from the album and don't return when I plug the hard drive back in!

    What can I do?

    How do I transfer photos in Windows 10 to my external hard drive

    Hi DianeD48

    Connect your External Hard drive to your PC

    Open Windows File Explorer

    On the left, click Pictures

    On the right, find the photos you want to transfer to the external drive

    Right click those photos or their containing folder and choose 'Send To' - your external drive will be bottom of the 'Send To' list

    That's It, wait for those to transfer across . . .

    Hi Linda

    It is best to do this manually, rather than through the Photos App . .

    Connect your External Hard Drive

    Open Windows File Explorer

    On the left, click Pictures yo open your Pictures library folder

    Then, on the right select the photos or folders of photos you want to transfer

    Right click those and choose 'Send To' - your external hard drive should be bottom of the 'Send To' list

    That will transfer those files to your external drive . ..
