Select the images in File Explorer, choose Print, select Microsoft Print to PDF, choose a layout, and save the resulting PDF. Check the preview carefully because Fit picture to frame can crop image edges.
Move the images into one folder and rename them in the order you want them to appear. Open each image first and rotate it correctly so the PDF does not inherit a sideways page.

Select the images
In File Explorer, hold Ctrl while selecting individual images, or press Ctrl+A when the folder contains only the images you want. Right-click one selected image and choose Show more options > Print.
3
Choose Microsoft Print to PDF
In the Print Pictures window, open the Printer menu and choose Microsoft Print to PDF. If it is missing, stop and restore the Windows optional feature instead of installing an unknown PDF printer.
Select the paper size, quality, and layout on the right. Use Full page photo for one image per page or a multi-picture layout when several images should share a page.
5
Check image cropping
Move through the preview with the arrow controls. Clear Fit picture to frame when Windows cuts off important edges; enable it only when filling the page matters more than preserving the complete image.
6
Print the PDF
Select Print, enter a clear file name, choose the destination folder, and select Save. Wait for Windows to finish creating the file before closing File Explorer.
7
Open and verify the PDF
Open the saved PDF and check the image order, orientation, page count, and cropping. Keep the original images until the PDF has been reviewed and backed up.
