Re: Windows Photo Viewer
Windows 10 comes with a basic photo viewer/editor: Photos. I like it better than the old Windows Photo Viewer - give it a try.
If you prefer the old photo viewer, it's still available:
If you didn't upgrade from Windows 7 or 8.1 but have a clean install of Windows 10, you'll have to change some settings to use Windows Photo Viewer. See How to Make Windows Photo Viewer Your Default Image Viewer on Windows 10.

Re: Windows Photo Viewer
yes its still there for people who upgraded... Ive bought a brand new desk top
Ive tried the photo but it did nt have the slide show option in the same way as the simple windows photo viewer
but I realise there is a slide show option at the top of the screen...
and it does have a few features like enhance.... crop.... etc
maybe youre right and photo is the next step
there are ways for me to get the old viewer but it involves messing about in the registry ... I d probably mess up
this brand new comp if I tried !

Re: Windows Photo Viewer
I loaded a photo in both Photos (as comes with Windows 10) and the Windows Photo Viewer. Of the two I would prefer Photos. Having said that, my default viewer is Irfanview which certainly, IMHO, offers much more in the way of options.
