To change the wallpaper (desktop background) on a laptop running Windows (10 or 11), follow these steps:
- Right-click on an empty area of your desktop.
- Select "Personalize" from the context menu.
- In the Personalization settings, click on "Background."
- Choose the type of background you want:
- Picture: Select from default images or click "Browse" to choose your own image.
- Solid color: Pick a single color as your background.
- Slideshow: Select multiple images to rotate as your background.
- After selecting or browsing for your preferred wallpaper, click "Apply" or simply close the settings window to save changes.
- Optionally, adjust how the image fits the screen (Fill, Fit, Stretch, Tile, Center, or Span) in the "Choose a fit" section.
This method works similarly on both Windows 10 and Windows 11 laptops
. For Mac laptops, you can change the wallpaper by:
- Clicking the Apple menu > System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver.
- Selecting a wallpaper from the default options or adding your own image by clicking the "+" button
This process personalizes your laptop's desktop background quickly and easily.
