For many of you, the reason that you got your computer was communication. Not just with the internet but through email to family and friends who live further away than you care to send photos and other media. To do that you need to attach a file to your email.

With digital photos or scanners able to be put on your computer so easily, it becomes easier to send them through email, where they arrive at their destination in an instant rather than in several weeks.

Attaching a photo to email is easily accomplished with just a few simple steps.

To start, you need to open a new email.

Click Create Mail

Click Insert

Click Attach File

Find the file that you’d like to attach. (It’s easier if you have the file where you know exactly where it was. I set mine on the desktop and attach them from there.) Double click it

Click attach

Complete your email and click send and your file will go with the email.
