I have decided to use (from another board)
Microsoft Professional Photography: Microsoft Pro Photo Tools 2
"ProPhotoTools" only 4.5 Mb
A freebie, but standalone from MS.
I gather Lightroom from Adobe also does it.
Seems to work well, though haven't used it too much yet.
Can drag and drop photo from my computer into ProPhotoTools,
Ctrl A to highlight all, and then edit away to hearts content.
Also has built in Microsoft maps that allow GPS or written descritpion of place to be added in bulk or individually.
Is this the first really useful freebie from MS ??
