Question: How Do I Get Wallpaper Without Activating Windows?
Contents

How can I set a wallpaper without activating Windows?

Option 1: Using the right-click menu or Ribbon command

Open a folder, right-click on an image file, and click Set as desktop background. Note that you can click the “Set as background” Ribbon command that appears under the Manage tab when an image file is currently selected.

How can I personalize my computer without activation?

Right clicking on any image file around a non-activated installation of Windows 10 will still provide the option to “set as desktop background,” and the same can be done by right clicking on pictures in a web browser, as well as the “…” menu in the Photos app.
