Hi Scott, Idiot here. Thank you so much , I`ve just ordered a W11 AOI PC, so found this very very useful and well explained.
It makes a nice change to hear from an expert who doesn`t automatically assume everyone else is an expert. Thank you.
My pleasure. Glad i could help 👍
Excellent tutorial. Greatly appreciated. It seems you are one of the few that can speak fluently with NO NONSENSE on the layman level with clear and concise detail that even I could follow, unlike some others that insert useless "info" with a whole heap of stupid "carry-on".
I have gone back and watched every single video you have made recently and I can find nothing in any of them that I disagree with. All your commentary, tips and tricks just make sense and have purpose.Full stop. Please keep up the good work.
From an Aussie..THANK YOU!
Wow, thanks Mate! I really appreciate that! 💪 ❤️🍺
I just got Windows 11 on a new laptop and it's very intimidating to me so there's a lot of helpful information in this video. I watched it straight through and will break it down into manageable amounts. Subbed to your channel, too. Thanks!
Thank you! Glad to help!
Good tutorial! Thanks. The”show more options” fix is what I really wanted.
👍
Really appreciate you a lot, just got a pc with windows 11 in it today and definitely needed some advice. Thank you for the time you took to make this video!
I appreciate that! Hope you got some value from it 👍
Hi Scott, First I'd like to say Thank You so much for this tutorial. This has been such a big help, I hope someday you could make another one on this subject that you think would help us newbies.😊😊
I have to agree, your tutorials are quite astounding, with total clarity, and with the ease to follow, and understand. Truely great tutorials, Thank you very much.
You're very welcome!
Thank You for putting this out there for computer illiterate individuals like myself. My old Dell finally took a dump on me and I had to get a new Dell and of course it came with Windows 11 and I know absolutely nothing about it with the exception of being able to access CZcams thankfully. I subscribed and liked your video so I can "Hopefully" come back and take baby steps until I get the hang of what I'm dealing with. As a side note I already learned from your video how to increase the Font size so I'm not straining my poor tired old eyes to read what I'm typing.
Music to my ears! ❤️👍
Very clear and concise! I learned so much, thank you, and I subscribed!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Excellent video! Thank you so much this training and keep up you good work.
Thank you, my friend 💪
Thank you. There is nothing very tricky about this, but every system has their own way and place to put something we need to do, and when we can't find it... Your video was a big help.
I appreciate that! 💪
Great share, a decent (more than decent actually) no nonsense information video without blasting music and gimmicks. I needed this video, and because of that, you have another subscriber. Best wishes from England. 👍
Brilliant! Cheers, mate!
Thanks so much for the thorough guidance on using Windows 11. The hack to fix the context menu is brilliant!
👍👍👍 glad you got value from it!
thank you so much. You are the first one that I could follow along with. I saved to video to refer back as needed.
Excellent!
Very helpful overview of windows . . . The TROUBLESHOOTERS in windows hardly ever work for me and can be frustrating. My wife is a novice user. She asked me why Microsoft does 'changes' and 'updates' without notification that make her computing experience worse. I informed her that MS has been doing this for years, and it's how they irritate users.
Almost like they enjoy aggravating their base 😂🤷♂️
Excellent and thorough. Easy to understand.
Thank you, my friend 💪
For me as an old Mac user this video was awesome. I recently installed Windows 11 on an Intel NUC to use for development. Your video really help me get started. Thank you!
Thank you! I knew there would be a handful of people (like you) who had a specific need for it. I appreciate the comment 👍
Love your videos! They are very helpful.
Glad you like them!
I just powered up my new ASUS Windows 11 Vivobook yesterday and got my toes a little wet by creating the recovery USB and looking around a bit. I had downloaded this video a few weeks ago when I knew I was going to upgrade. I just finished watching it, and this video is GOLD to me. I will be able to watch it on my current laptop while executing the settings on the ASUS. As this video is invaluable to me, it will not be deleted because I know I will need to refer to it often in the next few weeks and thereafter from time to time. I can't thank you enough. I have watched and downloaded quite a few of your excellent videos lately. You have become my go-to for computer help.
That is so nice of you to say! Thank you for the continued support ❤️👍
👍
@@studiouskid1528Oh great! Just what I needed to hear. Boot error? Bricks the PC? Keep windows recovery on? Now I have to research those things so I halfway know what to do in the event any of them happen. However, forewarned is forearmed, and I can thank you for that.
This has been so helpful, thank you so much. 👍
My pleasure 💪
Expecting a new W11 machine in a couple days and I'm doing a little preparing. Excellent Video.
Excellent, glad I could help 👍
Very nicely done with good content. I am preparing to upgrade my home computers to W11. This video gives me a good idea of what to expect as I get into W11. For reference, I am a retired engineer and computer professional (since 2013); I have not made a serious effort to keep up in the past several years so your video bridged the gap in my knowledge quite well. Thank you.
You're very welcome! 👍
Really well done tutorial. Thank you.
Glad you found it useful 👍
I just want to Thank you for this video! As a guy who knows very little about computers this video helps me out a lot! I learned that I have a lot to learn! So keep making these videos because I need all the help I can get, and I really appreciate it!!! 😊👍
Thanks again!
Glad you enjoyed it! 💪
I just got a new PC laptop, after years using a Chromebook and this video was a very good refresher as well as tutorial to new features as well as old. Thanks
You're welcome! ❤️
Great introduction. I wish you had published this earlier, when I bought my new computer.
One feature you didn't mention is the grouping of up to 12 pinned apps and folders in the start menu, similar to the feature in iOS.
I'm sure I missed more than just that one, but thanks for pointing it out. Glad you enjoyed the video 💪
Thank you so much for putting together this tutorial!!! It was very helpful .......... I book marked it :)
Glad it was helpful!
A magnum opus, fluently explained, that must be helping countless others. Thank you very much.
I should have said "... that must be helping countless others TOO." (!)
I appreciate that very much :)
Thank YOU, sir. @@AskYourComputerGuy
@SpiritintheSky. 👍💪🍺
This is out of date now. Many things don't look like this in W11, though I appreciate you taking the time to create this video. I'm sure many people benefited from it when it was current!
Thank you. Every time Microsoft provides a feature update, seems like a ton changes. But for people new to Windows 11, I still think it's a good starting point
I had to replace my old failing W10 laptop for work and your video got me fully operational again. Thanks so much for a well made video.
Thank you for this great video. I will be using the Win 11 soon. Since I am in my mid 70s I did not grow up with computer skills like my kids , and grandkids so we are truly ignorant about the whole process. You did a great job of teaching. I will most likely be revisiting this video over and over.
I hope so! Let me know if I can answer anything specific for you that I didn't cover here
YES! Agree with U completely!! I too am in my 70s. Best help ive seen yet!! Thanks so much!!!!😊
@lindablasingame2438 thank you ❤️
You are outstanding Sir!!! Awesome channel!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, my friend! ❤️👍💪
Good video. I'm surprised you didn't mention how to pin folders for Quick access in File Explorer. It's very handy for folders that are important/convenient, especially those that are a hassle to navigate to or you forget exactly where they reside.
Another one: how to turn off the default group by. I like the old way of seeing all the files together and clicking on the column headings to change sort options. I know how to turn off group by, but maybe others would like to know.
Great tip! I'll add it to a future "make Windows simple" upcoming video!
Thanks for the video I watched every minute. One little thing I wish I could move my taskbar to the left side of the display on my HP pavilion laptop windows 11
Great tutorial for newbies you did a good job.
Glad it was helpful!
I am wondering if I could give you three or four "Thumbs-up " for doing this video. It was great! THANKS!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that
Heh heh, dial-up is a very specialized use case. As a Network Engineer, I have installed COM servers with built-in modems to allow console access to network device console ports, especially to remote sites. If I needed to do late night updates, changes or troubleshooting, sometimes VPN access wasn't available, or I would need to see the device console during boot. A dial-up connection was crucial when network connection wasn't available.
great tutorial I have come from an Apple background so I have found this very helpful. Thank you.
Glad to help! Thanks :)
I have a few friends who hate Windows 11, I think I'm the only person in my circle who likes the OS I don't mind the start menu, I have to admit I'm still learning it, this video is necessary for a lot of folks because it is a bit frustrating, thank you great video.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Great tutorial. Thanks.
Glaf you enjoyed it! 👍
Saved for later ~ Thanks
great video for visiting when you forgot where to find or how to do something, thanx
Thank you 💪
I was not aware that you can hide/view the desktop icons so easily, which can be handy for someone who has a very messy desktop but like things to look neat and tidy. I am just wondering if it is possible to make your own custom hotkey shortcut to flick between the two? And if it is maybe you could make a video on how to create your own custom hotkey shortcuts.
Restored the 'proper' context menu! Thanks.
You're welcome!
Thank you for this treatise. Randy
Thank you, Randy 💪
Have a video recommendation. I tried searching through you vids but couldn't find it ... at least not in one place anyway. How about a video that shows you exactly what you need to do to setup up a newly bought pc/laptop? Starting right with the local login rather than microsoft login (one of your vids). When should you install your virus program ... before or after backing up and creating a reocovery? What installed programs should (could) be deleted? What should be addded (your vid ... The LAST flash drive you will ever need). Think this might make for an interesting vid and would definitely help lots of people.
I'm hunting for a new laptop so thought of this idea when today's new video popped up on my feed. :)
Made one a while back for Windows 11 (How to setup Windows 11 - SUPER EASY!
czcams.com/video/e6x1o2C22pQ/video.html)
Software installs are tricky. What works for me isn't necessarily best for you. And the local login bypass doesn't always work on every revision of Windows 11. If I had included that, I'd be getting hundreds of comments saying "doesn't work". Instead, I did make a video "9 settings you should change" that specifically deals with switching to a local account and how to do it. Hope this helps! 👍
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
You're welcome! Glad you found it useful 👍
Brilliant video. Loved your repairing hard disk errors as well. Thank you. Please could you suggest a powerful pc air blower yo clean dust please?
This is the one I use (as seen on my shelves behind me). It's an absolute beast and is powerful!
amzn.to/3SuTqDM
@AskYourComputerGuy thank you very much Sir.
@@AskYourComputerGuy Thank you so much for your prompt kind reply. I'm based in the UK and can't get the link to work.
Click the Amazon link and search for "wincool air duster" 👍
@AskYourComputerGuy Ah, thank you again. Found it and ordered. Much appreciated Sir.
Excellent information! 👍😎 Knock on wood, I haven't had a blue screen yet in Win 11 caused by even a crashed application. Wow .. that's a metric ton of chapter marks. 😮 Windows 11 never bothered me and I was an early adopter due to my Intel 12th and 13th Gen CPUs. About the only thing that really concerning me with Windows 10 / 11 is Microsoft's, telemetry and effectively a keylogger which was the first thing I disabled!!!
Honestly, I prefer the taskbar in the middle because I use ultrawide monitors.
Taskbar in the middle was growing on me, before I switched back to Windows 10 👍
Thanks for the tips I havnt had a computer for several years and just bought a new one so to jump straight into windows 11 was very confusing.
That's exactly why I made this video! You're not alone. Hope you got some good tips 👍
is it safe to set restore points when dual booting with Linux? Good and clear tutorial BTW, thanks!
absolutely, and great question!
Thanks for the videos! I know they are alot of work but it is most appreciated. All the tips were great but I especially appreciated the right click menu. Not a big fan of the "new" way of doing things.
Glad you like them!
Thanks!
So appreciated!!! ❤️
I was hoping to go to " Choose where to get Apps " as I want to install a couple of Wise Disk. Cleaner and Registry cleaner apps ... which it tells me are not recommended by MS etc.
However when i searched to go to this, it's not visible because i cant see the "Apps and Features" button.. mine only says " INSTALLED APPS " 🤔. Help ! Please !!
Another trick you might want to try to scale objects like desktop icons and some other screen features within apps, press control and use a mouse wheel. It doesn't seem to work without a mouse, using the arrow keys or a touchpad, i wonder what else is there that is mouse reliant
👍
Can you create a restore point and disable system restore? How does that work anyway? Does it periodically write onto your drive? If so wouldn't that just harm your SSD over time?
You can't create a restore point if it's not enabled. Windows automatically writes restore points (when enabled) before any significant changes or app installs. And no it doesn't harm your SSD any more than creating a document would
Very good. Do you have anything that will help me edit the "Right-Click Menu" to add some programs. 1) Database 2)submenu - Cd's, DvD's , etc. I can use regedit and get the 1) Database to list, but have problems getting the submenu to work. Any ideas.
Sorry, don't know of anything that could help. Perhaps someone reading here can assist
Will use when forced to use it; thanks!
I had to play the video at 0.75 speed to slow down talking. Thanks for the video! so I can catch the words carefully 😅
I probably sound like a normal human at 3/4 speed 😂💪👍
So-o-o helpful - covers everything I need to know about W!!. However! I'll be sticking with Windows 10 until Microsoft won't let me any more. Just wondering how much more memory 11 chews up compared with 10. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful. I'm not a fan of Windows 11, went back to Windows 10 and am happy again 🥲
Hey can you make a complete idiots guide to processors and everything about it. What are different terms, which is best for you etc. It is really confusing 😅. Love your videos ❤.
Thanks for the idea! Processors used to be simple, there was about 6 to choose from. Now there are hundreds. Honestly I would defer to either @ChrisTitusTech or @LinusTechTips. My knowledge of one CPU over another is extremely limited, as that's not really my forte'. I do appreciate the support, sincerely 💪
@@AskYourComputerGuy i love this channel. And really appreciate the fact that you personally reply every comment. Every video i learn something new. Thanks for suggestions. 😊
@Freethinker-vj4ut well not EVERY comment LOL...it's getting harder and harder when there is 150-400 comments a day now. But I at least try to focus on those that enjoy my videos and appreciate the work involved, and actually get something out of them. Thanks my friend 💪
Manny thanks
Thank you
You're welcome
Thanks for this, I've only been on W10 for a year and am not sure whether to take the leap and go to W11...I use the PC (13th gen Intel) a lot for Zwift and indoor training and seems like all the advice from forums and those with some knowledge is stick with W10 as they don't play nice with W11... It's gonna get the usual cut off point though for support in the next few years so will have to deal with it sooner or later....
Glad I could help! I too would say stick with W10. Got a video coming out soon on exactly why and how to migrate back to W10. Thx for the comment 👍
From the beginning of this video to the end of this video you have received 55 subscribers! 😊😊❤❤
LOL I don't even pay attention usually until after the edit is done. Thanks for pointing it out 😂💪👍❤️
@@AskYourComputerGuy You're welcome!
👍
Thanks, I have a Windows 10 Pro, that I changed over to Windows 11 Pro, had problems now back on Windows 10 Pro. (Fresh reinstall). I didn't like how File Explorer was working, but now may go back to 11. Also, couldn't get out of the Microsoft account just so I could stay on local. Also, built a PC for my son who says he wants to stay on Windows 10, but will send him this link, maybe he'll change his mind.
Perfect explanation, but, always make a system backup of Windows first, no matter what version of Windows that is, if it goes wrong you will be fully online again within fifteen minutes, or you are the fool who has to install it all over again !!
u are the best/tu eres el mejor gracias
Thank you! :)
I kept saying no to update to Windows 11 but just yesterday it said update and close down so I did and oh no I now have Windows 11 on it has gone and done it on its own! Hence finding your video as I couldn't even figure out how to turn off the machine as icon disappeared from view. Oh well will go look and see your video on how to wind it back to Windows 10 😳 But this video is a real help if decide to try it for a while so many thanks.
You have 10 days to roll back to Windows 10. After that, you have to do a full factory recovery to get Windows 10 back
WOW, I need this, but it is tough going. A transcript would be a big big help.
Turn on closed captioning 👍
I like to have my desktop in a list format that is on the taskbar that you can click on and scroll through your desktop items, which is what windows 10 lets you do so you can have a clean desktop with no items. It seems there is no option for this on windows 11?
I'm sure it is. Go to the taskbar settings. Lots of options to tweak there
I found it all very interesting but particularly like the last one for the registry, I will have to wait until I am more confident that I won't mess up before I risk trying it but I have found that feature VERY annoying.
Agreed! Glad you found the video useful 👍
I like Windows 11. Anyone who likes Computers,Laptops, understands it won't dislike Windows 11.
👍
Here is a question for you. How do I set my mouse to single click. I am running an HP Laptop with Windows 10 soon to be Widows 11 I hate having to click something twice to open it or select it.
It used to be in mouse settings under "control panel". Honestly not sure if that's still an option but that's where it would be if it still exists
Hi ! Do you have a shop or office I could go to set up my new laptop the way you may suggest for my easy use.??...i find it difficult the way windows 11 is programmed now.
Depends on where you live 👍
Hi Scott, I`m still using Win 10 and was really worried about upgrading to Win 11 as I`d heard it was vastly different to 10, so I was going to hang on until 2025 when I had to do it, but your great video has shown me that I needn't be worried, I`d happily cope with it. One question though is will it still work with a program called Classic Start which replaces the start menu and gives you an old school start menu? I really would like to keep this if at all possible, in fact if the answer is no it wont work with that, I`d be back to hanging on until 2025! Cheers from the UK.
I'm aware of classic start. Started using it with Windows 8. Very popular, I'd imagine they've ported it over for W11, but I'd check the website to be sure 👍
@@AskYourComputerGuy Cheers Scott and thank you for taking the time out to answer me. I've now got my PC and been working with Win 11 for about 3 weeks now, its OKish but so many things about it are driving me nuts, like the simple thing of being able to drag the Taskbar up to increase its size to accommodate more icons. The missing right contextual menu, whereby to get to delete you now have to click through another menu to get back to the one with delete on it. Why cant MS just improve new OS`s and leave the good things going. If it aint broke dont fix it! LOL
@stevejarvis186 agreed!
If I have an external hard drive, can I have the restore point saved to that. I want my internal disk to only contain windows itself and the rest I would like to use as ram. How do I create a ram file on my hard disk? Thanks
The restore points are specific to the drive. They actually don't eat much space. If you create a restore point for another drive, it's for *that* drive's settings, not your OS drive
@AskYourComputerGuy hello I have a question with prior video. the cloner tool which you described and with the link! the cloning process is done first by removing old disk hard drive and putting into the cloning device then installing your new digital hard drive into Cloning device to rewrite new drive? Say for my oldToshiba satellite laptop? And another excellent video!!
Easiest solution is put new drive in cloner, run the software from your existing pc. When done, swap drives out and you're done 👍
@AskYourComputerGuy now for a computer beginner! The program you referred to runs a cloning device from where? And as always thank you far all your amazing advice and directions helping out a old timer!
I think you're referring to Macrium Reflect 8.41?
@AskYourComputerGuy no for the SABRENT USB C Docking Station for M.2 PCIe/NVMe and SATA 2.5/3.5 Inch SSD & HDD with Offline Cloning (DS-UNHC)
That you showed in one of your videos! I have one order threw your link! From 4 weeks ago. Link here. czcams.com/video/-89EcTjzl4M/video.htmlsi=Ga11w5bcS0jKUWbo. always video
@dennissmith1469 oh I see. With the cloner, you can do it the way I suggested or do the clone externally after removing your existing drive. Both work fine, I just prefer watching progress on the PC screen 👍
Question: How to fix keyboard response typing lags like walking through mud. New laptop with Windows 11 a few weeks old. I do my typing in the comments section of youtube and I'm 4 or 5 words typed before I see anything. I've checked everyones videos made changes of different settings, a few seconds waiting on the cursor to show up not sure why everything is so slow. Suggestions?
May be a bit extreme, but it sounds like you either have "crapola" or bloat on your machine...try this, will take a while but SO worth it, I promise!

@@AskYourComputerGuy I'll give it a shot I just bought it I have nothing downloaded on it...slow key response time and I'm a fast typer. I feel like I got a lemon I'm glad I don't do any large scale reports....:)
I added a font. I can use it in Word, but not Paint. I ran Repair, Reset, and reinstalled Paint. ☹️
Excellent! Thank you!
I appreciate that, thank you!
How do you work the narration? I have a Mac and this computer is frustrating me!
Sorry, don't know much about Mac 🤷♂️
Microsoft Windows doesn't come with an owner's manual anymore.
Man. I remember the big, honking books that came with MS-DOS and Windows 3.1. Put them in a bag and you have a weapon 😂
I want to add photos from a Zip drive to new laptop. Is this simply plug and go?
Assuming a) the Zip drive works, b) you have all the necessary cables and c) you have the right interface on the laptop to connect it, absolutely! Most ZIP drives that I recall had a parallel port connection (like an old printer), so you might have to buy an adapter for it. Once you have that, if needed, it will work the same as any other drive you plug in 👍
With the Moment 4 update, Chat is removed from the taskbar and replaced with Copilot, Microsoft' AI for Windows.
Didn't know that, thank you! 👍
All I want to do is to be able to print with my new smart printer! I dislike window 11 so much, it makes me sick! I loved windows 7 easy to,use!
Agreed! I miss Windows 7 every day 🥲
so I'm going from Windows 7 to Windows 11 as my desktop is from 2012 and I'm running out of memory. Hopefully this video will be of benefit to me.
I hope so as well!
As a suggestion.... And I mean that gently, because I love this channel... a monthly / bi monthly "How to install Windows the right way" issue? I only say that because at 4am this morning I reinstalled Win 10 on a HP Pavilion.... and it was.... soooooooo easy. Compared to the Win 11 I did last week..... which sucked, and took 4 days. If you take this request - don't keep them up - delete as you go. Just a "current" "how to install windows" guide. My personal experience is crappy - I know enough to get in trouble, then have to look to the net for help. But thats how we learn, eh? 20 years ago I was an IT manager... not any more!!!! A simple step by step - preferably that bypasses MS Login.... yeah... and keep it updated. You're a trusted source. Could be a regular thing for you.

have you done a video on blue screen of death, stopgap?
am currently plagued with this.
Not specifically on BSOD because there literally thousands of potential causes, many with different solutions. Closest for your needs would be this one:

If you have any particular topic you'd like me to talk about, please let me know also! 💪
I purchased a used one with Window 10 . To give my child. For school. How do I keep the main user in control.
You could enable parental controls in their Microsoft account. Or you could create an administrator account for you and a standard user account for the kids
I need a program that will help me understand at my pace how to really monitor me and teach me the Chromebook OS and my windows 11 each separably so I learn them interdependently
Try youtube, there's tons of tutorials on everything under the sun 👍
Need an updated tutorial for the latest version, Please?
This was just released a few months ago. Not sure if anything has changed. Is there something specific that is different for you?
My computer was to be touch screen why is it not working or how do I tell if I don't have it Help Please?
Look under device manager, display adapters. You should see a touch screen option there. Sometimes it gets disabled if the display driver isn't correct, which can be downloaded from your manufacturer
I am looking to open two windows so that I can drag and drop photo files, especially from the SD card from the camera.

How can I get" this PC" in windows 11 to function the same as it does in windows 10?
Explain 🤷♂️
Can you show me the difference between user account and a administrator account and if I should have a administrator account.
A standard user basically has no permissions to change any system settings. Using a standard account is safer for sure. Best practice is to create an administrator account but use a standard account for daily use. Malware can't run without administrator permissions, so you would have to manually type the admin password to allow things like that to run 👍
@AskYourComputerGuy Thanks for the info. I really like your channel It is one of the more informative channels I've come across and I will be following it.
My wife, a teacher, bought a new laptop with Windows 11, and that's how I ended up here. I've been on Linux since about 2000, MX Linux for the past few years. Download it and you'll never look back. My machine dual boots into Windows 10, but I never use it.
I'm working on several videos now, one is how to create a dual boot to test Linux, and the other is "can a normal Windows user learn to use Linux". Stay tuned ;)
@@AskYourComputerGuy Over the years, I've used several Linux distributions. The one I'd recommend is MX Linux. It's easier to use than Windows and, besides the manual, has an MX Tour which gives one two or three minute bites of information with images about the various aspects of the distro. Also, being Debian-based, the repository has over 50,000 free packages.
Windows wants to think for one and gets in the way. Linux puts one in the driving seat--you think and tell it what to do.
The only reason everybody is not using Linux is because very few people are really interested in computers. Hard to understand, isn't it? I build them, have a degree in IT and create web applications.
@grasonicus I've heard of that distro. I was leaning towards Mint for "Windows-like" simplicity. Your thoughts on one vs the other?
@@AskYourComputerGuy There are many comparisons between the two, even on CZcams. Here's one: czcams.com/video/GewxByjHu5I/video.html MX comes in an AHS (advanced hardware support) form for new hardware. It also has the standard form.
Why not give them both a go and live with them for a while?
@grasonicus I'll check it out 👍
Hi how do you take a photo from email and put it in your gallery?
Just seethe photo, you'll have the option to download or save. Then save it to pictures folder 👍
thankyou.
You're welcome!
