original title: metadata Windows 7

I tend to take a lot of pictures and I want to be able to add metadata to photos that I know what talking about the picture, where it was taken, the people of marking on the photo, etc. I used the Windows 7 Explorer to add metadata to photos (the pane at the bottom of the Explorer or by doing a right click and using the properties--> details recording here). Everything's all right. But the addition of data to hundreds of photos is a very demanding task. Therefore, I wanted some advice on the following questions before that I seriously undertake this work on thousands of photos:

  1. If I add metadata to photos using the Windows 7 Explorer, and then copy the photos to another computer with Windows XP, I keep all the metadata information that I added in Windows 7 and be able to read in the Explorer of Windows XP? Or will I lose all the metadata as we can add in a specific Windows 7 format, unreadable by Windows XP? Or even that I lost a part of metadata (fields newly added in Windows 7, in case some [which?])?
  2. These metadata will be compatible in the future versions of Windows? If I upgrade to a later version of Windows (whenever it comes out), my metadata laboriously added will be present and readable as well as all the pictures?
  3. Is metadata embedded in the file or is it stored in another table inside the Windows OS? I know this because, to wire different versions of Windows, I have totally lose the metadata when I copy the photos or that it will be present in the Interior photos but will only be unreadable?

If I lose any of my metadata on different versions of Windows, then this method of recording information of the photo seems unnecessary. If this is the case, can someone advise me the best method to save the details of the photos inside photos so that they are available (and readable), everywhere where the photo is taken or copied.

Hi mnae,.

If you add metadata to photos and then to copy the photos to another computer it keeps all the metadata information that you added.

If you upgrade to a version more recent Windows information will be preserved. Metadata are embedded in the file only.

I suggest that you first test with some files and check.
