Unless you’re too picky about the colors of the icons and tiles and the wallpaper of your desktop screen, you’d probably prefer using the pre-built themes that not only change the desktop wallpaper, but also modify the overall ambiance of your Windows 10 computer.
Although a few themes are already available in the “Settings > Personalization > Themes” window, more can be downloaded from Microsoft Store that, depending on their type, can be free or paid.
However, you must be sign-in with your Microsoft account in order to download themes or any other app from Microsoft Store. If you are not already signed-in, you’ll be prompted to provide your Microsoft account’s credentials before downloading anything.
Downloading and using themes in Windows 10 is simple. Here’s how:
Click Launch after the download completes, and click the new theme (Macro Flowers for this example) back on the Themes window. This instantaneously replaces the current theme with the new one. After changing, you can close the Themes window to get back to the desktop screen. You can even click the Start button and check that the Start menu ambiance has been modified as well.
