- You can enable thumbnail view by going to Folder Options in your Control Panel.

- Uncheck Always show icons, never thumbnails in the View tab of Folder Options.
Open the Control Panel. You'll find it in your Windows Start menu. Here you will find all kinds of options for customizing the settings on your Windows 7 PC.
Select Folder Options. Find the tab labeled Folder Options and click on it. If you cannot find this section, you may need to change the "View by" setting in the top-right corner of the Control Panel. Select Large icons to make the section appear most easily.
Click on the View tab. It's the second tab at the top of the window. This is where we can change the settings to enable thumbnail view permanently.
Uncheck the box next to "Always show icons, never thumbnails." Removing the checkmark from this box ensures that you'll see thumbnails instead of icons on photos and videos.
Click OK. Once you click OK, your settings will take effect.
Open File Explorer and test it out. You can press Windows key + E to open the File Explorer, and click your Pictures folder in the left panel to see your photos. Click the Folder View menu at the top-right corner and choose Large Icons or Extra Large Icons to make sure your thumbnails are visible.
