LONG file names and LONG file paths....HELP please !

Question

Im retired and living on limited SSI....I discovered that my Windows Home edition does not allow for me to create long file names (over 30-50 or more characters) or long file paths (multiple sub-folders)....but i have thousands of picture files that have long file paths and long file-names, and i need to continue to create, access and use long file names that have long file paths ! WHY NOT ???....and what are my options ?
