Download your January 2021 Wallpaper/Calendar

Your January 2021 Wallpaper/Calendar is ready!

Hurray! Your January 2021 Wallpaper/Calendar is here!

This image was another one of those particularly long searches for exactly the right thing this month, but once I found it, I knew immediately it was my “yes!” It nails the season (for those of us in the northern states, anyway), and I love the snow on each of these wolves’ snouts, as well as all the other detail captured by the photographer.
 
Which leads me to another “detail” topic. I *think* I’ve figured out how I can offer my monthly wallpaper/calendar in a higher resolution, so if your system and monitor can handle it, you may enjoy a bit crisper picture. But I’ll continue to include what I’ll now call a “standard” version, too. So now you’ll have a choice! (Personally, I am sporting the higher-res version on my new 27″ monitor, and it does make a difference!)

My monthly desktop wallpaper & calendar offers you a pretty seasonal picture to brighten your computer monitor. But that’s not all. It also includes a handy monthly calendar and serves as a cheat-sheet reference to PDF’s and websites you may want to know about and access.  And it’s even FREE to download, so please don’t hesitate to share this page with your friends and family.

How to download & install your January 2021 Wallpaper/Calendar

Note: You’ll probably want to consult your own computer operating system’s installation instructions, but installing the background image on my Windows 10 system takes just 3 quick steps – and less than a minute. It’s super-duper easy-peasy! 

Here’s how you can (probably) do it, too.

    1. Decide which version you’d like to download. If you’d like to download the higher-res version of this wallpaper/calendar, left-click here and this month’s image should open. (It might take a few moments to fully appear.) Locate and select the download option (probably somewhere near the upper-left of your screen) and save the image to your computer. OR… if you’d prefer the standard-resolution version, left-click here to open the image. Then right-click on the image and save it to your computer. 
    2. Once the file has been downloaded, named, and saved, click on your saved image to open it. 
    3. Once open, right-click on the image and select “Set as” > “Set as Background”….. then right-click on the image again and select “Set as” > “Set as Lock screen”. And poof! That’s all there is to it! (For convenience, I recommend you install this on both your desktop system and your laptop. Assuming you still have such things these days, of course!)

Tips for other operating systems:

And in case you may have an operating system OTHER than Windows 10, you may find these installation tips helpful:

  1. Windows 10, 8.1 or 7: http://www.digitalcitizen.life/how-customize-desktop-background-windows 
  2. Apple Mac: http://www.wikihow.com/Change-the-Desktop-Background-on-an-Apple-Macintosh-Computer 

Finally, please keep in mind that the format of my monthly image is designed for most modern-day 16:9 monitors (a common format for monitors and HD TV’s since about 2009), oriented in landscape format. (If your monitor displays 1920 x 1080 pixels, or 2560 x 1440 pixels, it should work fine.) If you’re working with an older monitor (and/or one that’s more square-ish in format), or your monitor is set up in portrait format or some other variation, the picture will likely not work for you. And unfortunately, I am unable to trouble-shoot individual systems’ incompatibility challenges. Sorry!
