Computer Help Needed

Unread post by Turkeytop »

My laptop crapped out a while ago and I had t get a new one. This one has the newest version of Windows (Windows 11?) Every version of windows is worse than the last. They used to have a thing called "My Computer" Then it became "This PC" Now I don't see it at all. When I insert the SD Card from My camera, how to I view the images or transfer them to the computer?

When I do what you describe on my Windows 11 PC, this pops up:

When the window opens up for the SD card (like shown above) then double click on the DCIM folder. It will open and show you all your photos. Double click on any one of them to view in a larger screen.

Microsoft has actually been hiding the My Computer/This PC icon from the desktop by default ever since Windows XP.

To get it back in Windows 11, you need to go into themes and then desktop icons. Just type the word "themes" in your search box next to the start button and you should be able to find your way from there.

Thanks for that. It worked for me.
