Hi I know nothing about pictures really I just take them on my phone then transfer them to laptop via usb cable. I had taken some pics on my Xperia xa1, transferred them to my geo notebook like I had done several times before without any problem. This time when I try to open the photos with photos on windows 10 it says "it appears that we don't support this file format" the first file is DSC_005.JPG. I transferred 2 lots of photos into 2 new folders on the same day and one folder is fine. The only difference I can see under properties is the ones that worked have jpg in small and the ones that didn't have it in capitals. The ones that won't open supposedly are 8GB in size each totalling 6.5TB but the notebook only has 32gb memory! I did nothing differently in transferring the 2 lots of photos so right now I am confused.com but hoping not to have lost the photos of my family holiday
 
It's not clear from your post how Lightroom is involved in this issue. When you say "it says", what is "it"? Also, are the photos really 8 Gb, or 8 Mb?

The error message when I try to view a photo

It says they are 8Gb which is obviously wrong but how do I fix it?

I thought lightroom was a forum for advice didn't realise it was anything more, try googling the issue and came across this site

The screenshots look like Windows, not Lightroom. Lightroom is a big Adobe photo handling and editing program. This forum is devoted to its many complexities. I don't know why the mixup with the file sizes, but it doesn't look like a Lightroom issue.

By "what is 'it'", I meant what program or function is giving you the messages? You mention "photos" (not capitalized); do you mean the Windows program? If so, perhaps the way to solve the problem is to look at Help for that program.
