New Photos App

My MacBook Air (Early 2014) was updated recently to Catalina Ver 10.15.2. iPhotos is not working since it is not supported. The Photos App was not downloaded to replace it. How do I get Photos?

Photos is a part of the OS now and not a separate download. If it is not in the dock, look in the applications folder for the multicolored flower that is the Photos icon.

If it is not there, you need to re-install the OS.
