Windows Personalization Step by Step

On your Windows desktop, a background, also known as wallpaper, is simply the picture covering your desktop, behind the icons. To change it, follow these steps:

1. Right-click your desktop and choose Personalize. Windows quickly kicks you over to the Settings app’s Personalization section, open to the Background setting. Click the drop-down list to choose between covering your desktop background with pictures or colors. If you're in Tablet mode then press the Start button, tap the word Settings, and tap the Personalization icon.
   

2. Select Picture from the Background drop-down list. The Background section’s menu lets you create a background from a picture, a color, or a slideshow — a combination of photos that automatically changes at preset intervals.
   

3. Click a new picture for the background. Click the Browse button to search for your own Picture that you created for the background. Background files can be stored as BMP, GIF, JPG, JPEG or PNG files. That means you can choose a background from nearly any photo or art found on the Internet, shot from a digital camera, or scanned with a scanner. When you click a new picture, Windows immediately places it across your desktop and shows you a preview above the Personalization window.
   

4. Decide whether to fill, fit, stretch, tile, or center the picture. In this case you will want to use the fit option.
   

5. Click the Save Changes button to save your new background. Windows saves your new background across your screen.
   

6. You may need to adjust the size of the shapes and or adjust the overall image so your files line up with the images
