Last edited 994 days ago by Adrian P Wilkinson [PP].

Here are some common ways to personalize Windows:

Changing the Wallpaper: Navigate to Settings > Personalization > Background. From there, you can choose from a variety of different images, or you can select your own from your personal library.

Altering the Color Scheme: In Settings > Personalization > Colors, you can modify the color of your taskbar, windows, start menu, and more.

Customizing the Lock Screen: In Settings > Personalization > Lock screen, you can select a new image or slideshow for your lock screen.

Changing Themes: Windows traditionally comes with a variety of themes that can be changed to suit your style. Themes typically include a combination of wallpapers, color schemes, and sounds. You can browse the preinstalled themes or download new ones from the Microsoft Store.

Personalizing the Start Menu: You can pin, unpin, or resize tiles in the start menu to your preference.

Customize Taskbar: You can change the position of the taskbar, adjust its size, and decide what icons appear on it.

Using Live Tiles: Some apps have "live tiles" that can be pinned to the Start Menu to show information updates in real-time.

Fonts: You can customize the fonts used by the system.

Cursor and Pointer Size/Color: These can be personalized to make them easier to see and use.

Icons: The size and arrangement of desktop icons can also be customized.
