2. Select the item "Settings" at the bottom and then the "PC settings".
3. As the first menu item you will see the "Customize" option.
4. Here you can either use an image from Windows on the right-hand side or select an image yourself using the "Browse" button. A pack with different wallpapers can be found here.
