Today, we are going to show you how to change your desktop wallpaper, using nothing else but Widnows 10 Settings. It’s easy enough to do.<\/p>\n
Just open Settings (Windows Key + i) or click the Settings icon on your Start menu. In Settings, click on Personalization, then click “Background”.<\/p>\n
In the Background dialog, under “Background” choose “Picture” (You can choose Slideshow also. but we don’t recommend that since this can be resource drainer.) We also recommend under “Choose a fit” you choose “Stretch” if you want the picture to cover your entire desktop.<\/p>\n
Now, click on browse button and browse to the folder that contains the photo you want to use as your desktop background.<\/p>\n

Click on the picture you want to use as your desktop wallpaper and click on “Choose picture”.<\/p>\n

You can make the smaller again by scrolling the mouse wheel toward you while holding down the CTRL key.<\/em><\/p>\n After you click “Choose picture”, you’ll see a preview of the picture you chose appear in the Personalization dialog. You’ll also see how your current accent colors will look with your new wallpaper, my pretty blue looked not-so-hot with the orange-purple-brown shading of my wallpaper. In Personalization you can choose a different accent color… as I did.<\/p>\n And here’s my new desktop wallpaper and my new accent color.<\/p>\n And that’s all there is to changing your desktop wallpaper in Windows 10, using an image from any folder, anywhere on your PC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How to Change Your Windows 10 Desktop Wallpaper Using Settings We use a program called Irfanview as our default image viewer on Windows 10.
