Upgrade my PC to the point it’s about useless now making it impossible to download game cam pics. Found my way around the last one that made it harder to work with the pics now it won’t do squat. It seems they flood the PCs with upgrades they overload it making the need for a new one like planned obsolescence.
I remember when a PC came with free software most you did not need or want now there’s a app for that for a price making big tech rich.

It's a lose-lose. Don't update, then eventually get "unsupported" messages and it no longer works. Update, then it constantly crashes.

Mac...... nuff said. I have had this pro book for 5 years now. It had a dodgy batterie so stye replaced it free of charge a year ago. Now and then a new OS comes out but its free. It came standard with an office suite, photo editing and a bunch of other stuff that MS wants a lot of money for .... it boots up in about 10 seconds and even when the OS changes to a new version, the operation for the user does not change. Granted they are a bit more expensive to buy to start with but work out way cheaper in the long run. I know so of you may now say but apple is one of the big tech elites yada yada yada, but so is MS and there is just no way around it presently and you will have to pay one of them if you want a usable computer to work with.

I can’t get them to my photo gallery on my PC the “save as” is hard to find it popped up as a easy option before if I hit that now it a black box when I try to add to my photo file that I’ve had for ever. Would a restore to a earlier date eliminate the issue?

Makes me like my Linux even more but like everything it has it's bad as well as good.

Yup turn the updates off. Then when updates are available, you can decide whether to install them or not.
How are you trying to get your game cam pics onto your PC? SD card they go to photo gallery just won’t go to my access file (save as) to download it’s just a black box after I try to (save as).

I can’t get them to my photo gallery on my PC the “save as” is hard to find it popped up as a easy option before if I hit that now it a black box when I try to add to my photo file that I’ve had for ever. Would a restore to a earlier date eliminate the issue? Restore, doubt it. Try this: 1. Download Irfranview FREE. It supports Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10; 32 and 64 bit. Been using this for years. 2. Take your sd card and insert it into the reader with a USB. Inset into your USB port on computer. 3. Go to your files and look for your "X" drive e.g. (D:), (E:) or whatever. That drive will show your sd card flash drive. 4. Open Irfranview "thumbnails" and "open" it. It will show your photos / videos etc. 5. Choose the little "panda" and in the menu, select view. Choose what size to view. 6. It's easier than it sounds. PS. . . you can save each pic also. in a folder you name in Irfranview too. Any questions, feel free to ask. Hope this helps :-)
