Hey everyone, Daniel here from TwinBytes with another quick tech-torial for you.
This time on how to change your Windows 10 lock screen background picture from the
default Windows Spotlight to anything you want.
The first thing you'll want to do is download a picture.
So you can probably just go on to Google and search
for maybe a vacation spot you'd like to go to, and then select images. So it'll
show you only the pictures. The next thing is making sure it's in a high
resolution. So if you go to tools and then over here to size, you can choose
large. So this way it's going to be a high quality photo, and you can just look
through the ones that are here and maybe pick something from here. You'll be
able to see the resolution here possibly on this. When you hover the mouse over it
shows the screen resolution. If you right click on it, you can go to save the image.
Once you have the image saved, you can go in to open and edit it, if you want.
You could take that photo as it is and use that as your wallpaper, or if you
wanted to, you can use any picture editor that you want to add some graphics and
details to it. So you can go in here, make adjustments, crop it, and so on. You can go
in to edit it with 3D Paint for example. You can add in some text,
and just start typing in...
If you can actually read the text, and add something in here, but anyway, this is
just an example of what you can do. You'd be able to save that as that.
The next thing you want to do, now that you have a picture to replace your default with,
is go into the Start menu under settings, and we want to go to
personalization. Then you'll see the first thing is highlighting your
background. So you could change the background as well in here. You can
just pick any picture you want. We want to go into Lock Screen, and by default
it's on Windows Spotlight. So it's showing randomly generated pictures that
get updated on a regular basis. So if you don't want that and you want a static
picture, you can go in here to choose picture, and it shows the last few
pictures you may have had in here; or you can hit browse, and we browse for
our photo that we did download and choose that. Now we can see we got
that picture as our background with the edit that we made as well. So that's
basically all there is to it to changing the Lock Screen.
It does remember down here the last ones that you had. So you can actually click
on any one of these to choose the ones that you'd want to go back to, or browse
and pick something else completely different from your computer.
For a quick tip...
When you're browsing photos and you see something and you like, you could
right-click on any one of these and go to set as Desktop Background. That will
only change it as your desktop wallpaper. It doesn't change the Lock Screen. So if
you want it to change the Lock Screen as well, you would have to save the image first.
Then go in through the process that I just showed you.
So that's it for this super quick tech-torial. I hope you found it helpful.
