New user to Windows 10..... and am trying to transfer Photos from my old computer to this new one via DVD.  Once I get the list of photos on the screen how do I get them onto my hard drive? Thanks for any help.

Hello @Roneme

 

Are theses photos on a DVD that you burned or are on some sort of movie or slide show that some else created?

If you burned this yourself, it should be easy to transfer to your new computer.

 

Open the DVD to explore the contents.

Also open a new window to the location you want to put the photos into, like the Pictures folder on Windows 10.

Drag the two windows so they are side by side of each other.

 

To move all the photos in a folder at once...

  • Left click and hold the mouse button on the folder and simultaneously drag the folder to the new location on the other window.
  • To move all the photos if they are not in a folder (just on the DVD but not in their own folder), click once on any photo, then press and hold the CTRL key, then also simultaneously press the A key. This will select all the files.
  • You can drag them over to the new window.

Or

  • Once all the photos are selected, press and hold the CTRL key and C key to copy.
  • In the new window, press and hold the CTRL key and V key to paste.

Does this help?
