Windows 10

This is the HP Windows 10 Fax and Scan page that is opened by clicking on the "printer" icon on the bottom of the page. One of my objectives in getting the new HP was to be able to scan pictures and store them on DVDs. While I've worked out ways to do it and made some notes, today I wrote out this detailed guide. I can foresee the day when after being away from it for awhile, I will need some help. What I wrote today is just the "Scanning" and "Saving" portion with the "Burning to DVD" still to be done. If anyone sees this has a better way of doing it, please let me know with your comments.
Scanning, Processing, Storing, Burning
Scanning:
            Double click on Printer icon at the base of the desktop. It will open Windows fax and scan. >Click on “ New Scan” at the top, left of the screen, It will bring up a new page with the opportunity to set dpi, preview, scan, etc.>Click on Scan which will take about 20 seconds. A listing of scanned pictures will appear with the current date and picture listed as “New Image”. > Right click on the highlighted New image line, it will bring up options. > Click of “Rename”, it will bring up an opportunity to “Rename” the scanned image. > Click “OK” after entering the “Name, date, etc. That brings up the image with an opportunity to “Edit & Correct”, “Share” etc. > Choose “Edit & Correct. > Choose “Edit”, proceed to “Crop” > Click on “Done” which will bring up an opportunity to “Enhance” just by clicking in the enhance block, Click “save”, It will bring back the image. > Right click on it to bring up options, choose “save as” and the name listed earlier will appear in a box which you “Save”. The image will be saved in ”File Explorer”  which can be accessed by going to File Explorer> This PC > Pictures > Saved Pictures > Image.
