How to organise photos on your PC

Start with a backup and a sample

Copy 100–300 photos with varied dates and formats into a working folder. Keep the original archive untouched during your first test.

One task at a time

Collect sources, review exact copies and similar shots, check capture dates and prepare a folder structure. Avoid renaming, deleting and moving everything at once.

Check before expanding

Review source and destination paths, confirm a small move and test undo. Capture metadata is different from a file’s modification date. The resulting photos stay ordinary files in Explorer, not a locked proprietary archive.
