My tower computer acted up and crashed a couple of days ago. It had been upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and had some bugs in it. I as not able to recover anything and had to restore the system. Now the computer is running again. The HP Photo Viewer has vanished and I want to know how to get it back. Can you provide the software to reload my HP Photo Viewer that came on it when I purchased my computer new from HP? Thanks.

Hi there @drink-up,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand that you are looking for the HP Photo Viewer software after upgrading to Windows 10. I am happy to give you a hand with this.
Do you have any recovery disks for your computer that you created prior to upgrading to Windows 10? If so, you could try HP PCs - Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7), after booting from those recovery disks.
If you do not have recovery media to you could use: HP PCs - Obtaining HP Recovery Discs or an HP USB Recovery Drive, to get a set, if they are available.
The support page does not have the Photo Viewer available as a download, but you could also look at other software solutions such as those already in the Windows 10. It comes down to what functionality you need in such a tool. You could also check out HP Connected Photo - HP Connected Photo Is Being Replaced with Snapfish.
Please let me know whether that works for you, and if it does resolve your issue, please mark this post as a solution. Kudos would also be appreciated.
