The Windows Photo Viewer is an imaging software package that allows people to view their digital photos on their computer screens. If you have an outdated version of the Windows Photo Viewer, you will need to update it through the Windows Update feature on your computer. Previous operating systems such as Vista and XP have their own specific Photo Viewer. Windows 7 has a new version for the operating system. All versions of the software must be downloaded through the Windows Update application.
