I have installed Windows 10 but now cant find my photos. I have looked on OneDrive and in my bin but cant locate the files with hundreds of photos. I don't want to use OneDrive - can any one help? It seems to be a common problem but I can't figure it out.
i only ever had my photos on my hard drive i have never used one drive

I installed it from the download that MS sent me.
when I go to Windows.Old Properties says Size: 5.1GB - when I look into folders of which there are 25547, I cant find anything that resembles my photos - they just seem to be a lot of system folders
I did the upgrade on either Thursday or Friday - cant quite remember but the folders in .old seem to indicate Thursday 26/11/2015
that does not appear to be a very large backup file
However,
try the following
within windows.old
is there a folder called
users
under users - should be a folder with the same name as the account you had on the PC originally
click onthat user
now you should see folders
documents , music, photos
click on photos
should see all your photos
IF not
using file manager
click on
windows.old
now in the search box - top right
type
*.jpg
allow to search
does the search , find any images and if so are they your photos

yes it does bring up some images - some that I have been working on over the past couple of days and have just loaded also seems to be all photos that were on my desktop them there are some very old photos from about 5 years ago. 736 itmes but I know that there should be many other folders and one has 1800 photos in it. I have tried both of the above(which I had tried already but worth a shot). in doing some googling, I see others have this same problem but still havent been able to resolve it
I have n ow right clicked on properties for the c Drive and looked at previous versions. I can see backups if I right click on one from two weeks ago It brings up restore - would that help (I am not confident just to do it) I realise it would mean I might loose stuff from between now and two weeks ago but that is insignificant)
