Creating a Slideshow in Windows Photo App

I've been asked numerous times these past couple of weeks if there is a program that we have access to for year-end slideshows. The answer is "YES". The Photo app we ALL have on our computers allows you to create slideshows with a collection of pictures. Depending on how detailed or customized you'd like the slideshow to be, you could create a slideshow in less than 10 minutes.

Basically, the steps are:

Organize your photos into a folder.
Open the Photos App -> Select "Video Editor" at the top.

Create a new video project.
Title your video
"Add" the photos you'd like to use.
Drag them to the timeline.
Add a title "card"
Add text to the title card
Add music (and sync)
"Finish Video" (Share) -> Export

The video below explains this process very clearly. The only thing to note is that you are NOT opening the Video app on your computer, you are opening the PHOTO app and selecting "Video Editor".
