Windows 10: Windows LIVE PHOTOS GALLERY and recovering all of my photos

In 2016 I download all of my pictures that were on Photos live gallery onto a portable drive since then that computer has been destroyed and I discovered that when I open the file on the portable drive, the file is empty. I am realizing that those photos were on a cloud so to speak. I also found out that photos live gallery doesn’t exist anymore. I am desperately needing to get those photos back they are all of my child’s growing up. Is there someone in this department that can look on the server using my email that is still the same, a live.com email, and recover those photos?

:)

 

Any way to get the Windows Photo Viewer & Windows Live Photo Gallery?

Windows (Live) Photo Gallery comes with Windows Essentials as a package. ( MS has removed the word "Live" ).
Do you have Windows Essentials installed ?
The package includes Photo Gallery, Movie Maker, Windows Live Mail, Windows Live Writer, OneDrive.
Windows Essentials - Microsoft Support

 

Re unable to find Windows Live Photo Gallery

Photo Gallery is Windows Live Photo Gallery, I think MS is just trying to lose the 'Live' moniker.
