How do I convert HEIC files to JPEGs in Windows 10?

Unfortunately none of these helped. When i tried to open the HEIC into Photos, my Photos app was asking me to download a plugin to open the image. I tried saving the HEIC to JPG and open it. The Photos wouldn't open and would error that this format is not supported. So I had no luck. The paint also was no use. I have a Windows 11. I'm not sure all Windows 11 are equipped with HEIC to JPG converters. you might need another plugin to convert.

One workaround I found which is kludgy but it still worked. I opened the HEIC file in clipchamp, this is built-in Windows Video Editor software. The HEIC file opened fine in the clipchamp. From here you export it as a GIF.  The Windows 11 will open GIF with no problems. Just make sure you are exporting the video file from clipchamp, you be careful and follow the prompts correctly since it tries to export it to cloud and it has many options..  Kinda round about way to get there, but i somehow got it.  Thought of sharing it with the community.
