 * This not exactly a wordpress problem. I am trying to export my content from my
   hosted blog to wordpress.com
 * The problem (windows 10) I am having is when I hit export and it goes to save
   it wants to save it as a txt file, when I hit the drop down menu to change from
   a txt file…there is not anything else listed.
 * It seems to want any file I try to download and save to be a txt file and I can’t
   change it. Is there anyone that can help with this problem?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fexporting-to-wordpress-com-using-windows-10%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * In this case, just let it download as a text file, then rename the file to add
   the .xml extension. It shouldn’t affect the file’s contents in any way, you’ll
   just need to add the file extension so it’s properly recognized.
