New Desktop Pictures for Windows Computers

Microsoft has made it much easier now to find and add beautiful color picture slideshows to your desktop.
They have almost 300 sets of 1-2 dozen picture sets covering a great variety of themes and color schemes.
These "theme sets" can be downloaded and installed quickly.
Once installed, your desktop with all its icons will have a rotating slideshow of background pictures that make using your computer extra pleasant and relaxing.
Themes range from animal favorites to nature & scenery to city-scapes to regions of the country & world, and cover a wide variety personal and pet interests - literally, something for everyone!
To view the wide range of picture sets available:
Go to the desktop on your computer
Right-click in the open area of your desktop to the right of the icons
Left-click on Personalize
See left-hand column area and left-click on Themes
Left-click on "Get more themes in Microsoft Store"
From here you can scroll down a full range of picture sets. Left-click on any one that interests you.
You'll then see a descriptive screen about that set of pictures. Click on the blue "GET" button.
It will just take a minute or so for the "theme pack" to download. Usually it will be saved in your Downloads folder.
You can either double-click the themepack file, or click on the blue "LAUNCH" button on the Store page.
This will take you back to your Windows personalization screen where you select the newly downloaded theme listed, and this will activate it as a slideshow for your desktop.
(If the download fails on the first attempt, usually a second try will automatically launch. If you get a screen response saying you need to log into your Microsoft account, but don't have one, this can be remedied through User Accounts.)
