I've just upgraded to Windows 10 with no hassle but I don't want the girl running across the beach as my desktop picture that Microsoft have foisted on me! I've wasted half-an-hour trying to personalise it with one of my photos but with no joy. Can it be done and, if so, how, please?

Many thanks, hc4361 and ivor 4781. I've found Personalisation but of all the choices I then get (background, colors, etc.) 'Themes@ only gives me their choices. Any further help, please?

Ivor, what is irfan view?
You should also see the option to 'Browse'. That will open your photo library so you can choose your own.
That's in Background and Lock Screen by the way
