Morning Everyone

I have a D3100 and i have been happily snapping away for a couple of years and I'm beginning to get a little frustrated with the Windows 10 Photo Viewer. I only shoot in JPEG which generates files of around 6Mb.

My photos are stored on a WD My Cloud device which hangs off our Wifi Network. I also believe that this is a limiting factor, but that is another discussion.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a suitable photoviewer? Something that also shows more information on the photo would also be quite useful. W10 viewer only has focal length, shutter speed and aperture (I think) Freeware would be nice, but I'm open to alternatives.

I have done a Google, but it produces a lot of options, so recommendations would be useful.

Just one of pics from Goodwood. Not perfect, but I like it.

It's remarkable how my 11 year old XP machine opens JPGs in a second (Windows Picture and Fax Viewer), yet my new Win 10 laptop takes about 5 seconds. You'd think Microsoft would send their machines out with something that could open a humble JPG efficiently.
I agree. I loaded up some photos from my camera on my old XP machine and it was much quicker. Annoys me that we seem to have gone backwards frown
