I’m thinking of charging something like 5 to 10 dollars per copy. Then maybe in a year or so releasing a much enhanced version 2 that would have to be purchased separately.

I can see this being useful for some people that want to re-organize how they use their disk space but you'd need to add some heuristics to the software to make it useful for such use cases. For example, if you group all images together and suggest to automatically move them to a single folder or a set of sub-folders in another folder I can see that being useful.
If it is for Windows I'd look into putting it in their app store if you haven't already.
You probably need to contact some evangelists and maybe they'll point you in the right track!
They also like to send "success stories" on e-mails and such, aim for something like that!.
Could you say more on what you mean by an “evangelist”? One thing I thought of doing is talking to websites and youtubers who do app reviews, figuring if it got enough attention someone from the Microsoft store might take notice.
They get paid to produce tech demos, give talks, engage with the community, alpha and beta test the latest and greatest tech, etc...

If you connect with people who are Microsoft MVPs, they can probably put you in touch with them. I think engaging with some through Twitter would be the way to go.

I have not paid for it, but I probably could have been convinced to pay for it AFTER using it, with the right psychological appeal (and not during the current crisis unfortunately, I'm on furlough).
