So you copied the photographs from the "playing up" laptop to the Toshiba external hard drive. All fine.

Are the source photographs still safely on the older "playing up" laptop's hard drive?

Did you also download the Windows 10 iso to the Toshiba external hard drive?

As I understand your post, you reinstalled Windows 10 on her new laptop, which is working accordingly, and then copied the photographs back to the new laptop via the Toshiba external hard drive.

And the photos cannot be found on the laptop - correct?

In any case the primary objective is to "do no harm". And to have the photographs safely copied and out of the way. Preferably two sets.
