Question

Photos won't print from Gallery

Community Answer

Check that your printer is connected to the computer and powered on. You may also want to update your printer's drivers which can be obtained from the manufacturer's website. When printing from Windows Photo Gallery, make sure that the correct printer is selected, or the print command may be sent somewhere else.

Question

Will Windows Photo Gallery work in windows 10? I recently updated my new computer to Windows 10 and cannot locate photos from previous version.

Community Answer

Windows Photo Gallery can be used in Windows 10. The photos will be located in the same file path that you used in your older version of Windows. If you used the default path, then "My Pictures" will have been renamed to "Pictures"

How do I move photos to new folder?

You can either drag and drop the photo files from their current location to the new location, or you can right click on an individual file and select "Move." That will give you the opportunity to choose the new location where you want to move that file.
