Hi Richard,

The Spotlight images are stored in this folder:

%LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets

The files have random names and contain no extension, but they're JPG images. To know the actual location where a photo was shot, the image file's Properties -> Details tab *might* have some info. But the Details tab wouldn't be there or won't be showing much data for an extension-less file. Copy them outside somewhere, add .JPG extn, and check the Details tab. I made a thorough writeup on it here: How to Safe-keep Windows Spotlight Images in Windows 10
