Hi Kathie,



I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with Windows 10. I will certainly help you.

To assist you better, please provide us the information below:

• When you say that "zip drive", are you referring to zip drive or zip file with pictures?
• When you say that "Was given one with 2000 pics of grandkids", what is the exact issue that you facing while opening the pictures in the zip drive?

The Zip drive is a medium-to-high-capacity (at the time of its release) removable floppy disk storage system.
