win 11
Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to change the win 11 background pic with the win 10 pic depicting a rock formation in water with the woman jogging in front of it? I like that one much better.

Just choose whichever picture you want, right click on it and select "use as desktop image" or whatever. If you mean a different built in background, go to settings, personalisation and they're all in there and you just select the one you want.

Thank you for the quick response. How do I find that win 10 picture that I want? I did a search but no dice.

The image described is not on my Win11 but right-click of the Desktop and Personalize takes one to some adjustments that can be made. Scrolling through will get to a place to get new backgrounds/wallpapers from Microsoft, might try that.

Hi, esebm.

I think this is the one you're looking for. if so, right click it, save it to your photos, then set as desktop. :wink:

Or you might find it in Microsoft themes in the Microsoft store or from this page. It shows that photo as part of the Windows 10 theme. Easier to do what WXC said though :-)
