I can't find where I've saved my photos.  I need several suggestions, since it seems I've tried everything.   Thank you!

    Hi Tracie. I'm Greg, an installation specialist, 10 year Windows MVP, and Volunteer Moderator here to help you.

    How were these photos imported? Did you pay attention to where they were going? It's best to put them in the C:\User Pictures folder which is already linked to the Photos app so they'll display there too.

    If they're not there then do any of them have names or tags you can search for?

    If not then can you import them again and this time pay attention they go into the Pictures folder. If you run the import program you used it should tell you where they were put.

    Let me know what you find. I will be here to help until this case is resolved.

    In File Explorer do you have a D:\ drive?  If so add a folder to it and name it Photos.  Save your photos there.  Then you will know where they are.

    Have you already checked Photos? How about the Pictures file? What do you have set as a default for pictures? If you know  the name, photo number or any information about any of the pictures have you searched for them?

    Tracie, how did you transfer these pictures? Easiest is to copy them into OneDrive on the old PC, then sign into OneDrive on the new PC to copy them out of OneDrive folder into your Pictures folder. Or copy them to an External or flash drive (so they're also backed up on site as well), then move it to the new PC and copy them out into the User folders.

    Here are the many ways to copy or move files:
