The Photos app automatically finds most of the photos and videos on your PC and OneDrive. But if it’s missing a folder full of photos, you might need to tell it where to look.

  1. Open the Photos app and select More  > Settings.

  2. Under Sources, select Add a folder .

  3. Browse to a folder on your PC, an external drive, or a network drive connected to your PC, and then select Add this folder to Pictures. Subfolders of the folders you add are included too.
