Hi, thanks for reaching out!

Apart from the information that Dj_Paige asked for, please let us know the version of Windows you're working on. Are the images saved on an external drive or your computer's local storage? Are they RAW or Jpeg?

We're here to help, just need some more info!
Thanks,
Nikunj

A lot more detail is needed. Are you using Lightroom (Lr icon) or Lightroom Classic (LrC icon)? What version NUMBER? Are these photos viewable outside of Lightroom or Lightroom Classic? What camera make and model took these photos? Are they JPG or RAW or something else?

Screen captures would be helpful. Use the Insert Photos icon to include your screen capture in your reply.

Can you locate these photos in Windows Explorer?
Are these photos viewable outside of Lightroom or Lightroom Classic?
What camera make and model took these photos?

Also, what is the "recommended way"?
