How to use a personal picture as background

[Victoria_5_tvtoy]

I should like to use a picture from my photographs in my pictures as background for desktop. Is it possible to do this?

Just go to the settings app in the action center, then click personalize, and then background. You can chose individual photos or an entire folder if you want.

A slightly easier method is to simply open the picture you want to have as your background, right click on the picture and select "Set as desktop background" and then you're finished.

Thanks I should have know this works - I have been trying the personalize method every one seems to recommend for Windows 10, but that only allows me to change background colors, not pictures. Thanks again for reminding me of something I have known how to do for decades ! Windows 10 sucks !
