    Background Images


    I want to get better background images for my Windows 10 PC.

    Does anyone know where to get those typed images and where to put them when I down load an image?

    Many sites.. I guess you mean 'that type of image' rather than 'typed' ...

    E.g.
    deviantart.com is wellknown

    If you search for e.g.
    wallpaper photos
    desktop wallpaper
    etc

    you might find e.g.
    pexels

    The Best Websites for Downloading Cool Wallpapers

    I once spent time collecting images from a photo gallery where expert photographers posted some of their work.

    Well, and thank you so much for taking the time to reply - so abruptly.

    You choose. I don't know what YOU'RE going to DO with them, do I? Good luck. Unsubscribed from thread.

    They are just going to be themes for background images on my pc.I am not real crazy about Microsoft's few choices that come with Windows 10.

    YOU save them in YOUR folder of YOUR choice .. the obvious place is a separate (sub)folder in Pictures.

    Then YOU have to tell Windows where to find them. Right click on desktop > Personalise, then choose Slideshow as your background type, and then follow the prompts to set it up how you want it.

    You're going to have to do a little work to tell Windows what you want, don't be sucked in by this MS hype of how easy it is with one click and it's all done.

    Your search engine is your friend

    Hi Huffman, a nice website with huge choice of photos is:

    interfacelift — wallpapers, icons, themes, and iOS apps

    You can here download a photo in a resolution you need. So, download it to Downloads, then copy it from there and paste into Pictures - Saved Pictures folder on your C: and finally use Settings - Personalization - Background to set it as a Wallpaper.
    Don't forget to save the theme.

    Hope this helps.
