How to make sure you can see file extensions in Windows 10: (so you can tell what kind of music file you are looking at)
In Windows Explorer,
Select the View tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
Make sure the the "File names extensions" box is checked.
Now you can see the file extension formats/type of file in Windows Explorer for that folder.
To do this for ALL folders on your computer, use Control Panel to get to the File Explorer Options. (An easy way to do this is to type file extensions in the windows search bar). You will need admin access to do this. Make sure the "hide extensions for known file types" box is UNchecked.
