... following on from a previous thread of mine (now solution accepted) = photos from disc to laptop

how do I get my photos now on my laptop or any picture anywhere on the internet to say: in an email - on O2C - on a popular social media site etc?

thank you

I just open the screenshot in a programme called Paint. I'm not sure to be honest if that comes preinstalled on Windows 7 or whether it's part of Microsoft Office. My memory ain't too clear these days

My scruffy freehand ones are just by using the pen function in the sniping tool - jonsie's more professional ones look like paint or some other editing software

Yes it's Paint and does come installed with windows 7 :
