1. First, left-click here to open the image. Then right-click on the image and save* it to your computer, noting where you’ve saved it, and renaming it as appropriate. *NOTE: If you have trouble downloading the image, it may be due to the newer “webp” image format, which sometimes occurs. The fastest way I know of to convert a “.webp” file to a format you’re familiar with (most likely “png” or “jpg”), is with the browser extension “WebP / Avif image converter”. I have installed that on all my browsers, so now when I do the right click for my dropdown list, instead of choosing the “save image” option, I now choose the “convert and save image as” option, which the extension provides. But there are other methods of converting “webp” files, and you can find those by searching the web. Lots of YouTube videos explain various methods. And be sure to note where you saved your file, so you can find it again!
2. Well, wouldn’t you know… it seems that Windows has recently changed the process for installation, so here’s AI’s step-by-step guide to get your wallpaper installed if your former method no longer works. It actually takes longer to read the steps to both processes than to do them!
