How to change the wallpaper on a laptop with Windows 10

Method 1: Personalization menu

Changing the external design of Windows 10 occurs through the embedded application "Parameters", namely through the "Personalization" section. Here you can not only set the image from the proposed system, but also choose any picture stored on the computer, as well as create a slide show or include a solid color from OS blanks. For non-standard file size, a change change is available (stretch, wind, etc.) - it will help to adjust the picture below the screen size.

It should be borne in mind that the "Personalization" section is available only to owners of activated windows. If this is not your case, use the recommendations below.

Method 2: Context Menu

When the computer already has the desired image in the desired size that does not need additional settings, it is even easier to make it background. Through the "Explorer", go to the place where the picture is stored, and click on the file with the right mouse button. A context menu is displayed, where among the additional functions, select "Make the desktop background image". After clicking on it, the picture on the desktop will immediately change.

Method 3: Internet Explorer

Through the Windows Browser, Windows can also be installed a picture as a background, without even downloading it.

1. To do this, find a suitable image on any site with wallpaper, making sure that its resolution coincides with the resolution of your screen. It may be higher, but not lower, otherwise the picture will look unclear, because it stretches over its original size.



2. Right-click on the image and select "Make a background pattern".



3. Confirm your action by the "Yes" button.

Instead, we will analyze one of the applications available in the store for Windows 10.
