1Right-click your desktop and choose Personalize.

The Personalization window appears.

Right-click on the empty space of desktop and select Personalize. Click on Desktop Background, at the very bottom of the window. Click Browse and select your desired picture. Next if you want that your desktop background will be changed automatically. Finally just click on. Most of the Windows 10 wallpaper and theme images come in sizes ranging from 1920×1200 to 3840×1200, and they’ll look great on most screens and devices.

2Select Desktop Background from the windows’ bottom left.

The window shown here appears.

3Click a new picture for the background.

Be sure to click the drop-down list to see all the available photos and colors that Windows offers. To rummage through folders not listed, click the adjacent Browse button. Feel free to search your own Pictures library for potential backgrounds.

When you click a new picture, Windows immediately places it across your desktop. If you’re pleased, jump to Step 5.

4Decide whether to fill, fit, stretch, tile, or center the picture.

Not every picture fits perfectly across the desktop. Small pictures, for example, need to be either stretched to fit the space or spread across the screen in rows like tiles on a floor. When tiling and stretching still look odd or distorted, try the Fill or Fit option to keep the perspective. Or try centering the image and leaving blank space around its edges.

You can automatically switch between images by choosing more than one photo. (Hold down Ctrl while clicking each one.) The picture then changes every 30 minutes unless you change the time in the Change Picture Every drop-down list.
