How to change the background image on your desktop

1. You will need to go into the settings menu to change the background image on your desktop. Click on the Start button  and select Settings. This will open up a window with a number of options for you to choose from. 
2. Click on ‘Personalisation.’ This will take you to a window that allows you to change the background of your desktop.
3. The top image gives you a preview of how your desktop will look once you’ve finished making your changes. 
4. The top drop down list lets you choose between a fixed image, a single colour or a slideshow of pictures as your desktop background. If you choose ‘colour’, Windows 10 will show you a number of shades and all you have to do is pick the one you like.
5. If you want a picture, select the picture option and choose from one of the available Windows 10 images or click on ‘browse’ to select an image from your pictures folder. Once you’ve found a picture you want to use, click on ‘fit’ to adjust the way the image appears on your screen. 
6. Alternatively, if you’d prefer a slideshow with the pictures changing, click ‘slideshow.’ This automatically defaults to your picture folder, but if you’d like to use a different source, click on ‘browse’ and choose the folder you want Windows 10 to use. You can then set the frequency you want the pictures to change, from every 1 minute through to once a day, set the images to shuffle randomly or rotate in order and, if you’re using a laptop, switch off the slideshow when your machine is running off battery power to save energy.
7. Finally, you can choose how you would like the images to appear on your screen by clicking on ‘fit’ and selecting an option from the drop down list.
