Windows 10 has a bunch of new apps, including a new Photos app. I don’t mind the Photos app – it certainly has some nifty features, such as the ability to edit and enhance your images with a couple of clicks – but I love the old Windows Photo Viewer.

I miss it so much that I made it my default photo app. And here’s how you can do the same thing.
