Personalise your PC easily

Windows 10’s personalisation options make it easier than ever to make any PC utterly unique.

Of all the things we love about Windows, one of our favourites is its personalisation. From the very earliest versions to Windows 10 today, Windows has always encouraged you to tweak and transform things.

Windows 10’s personalisation goes way beyond changing your Desktop picture or colour scheme, although of course you can do both of those things with ease. It also enables you to customise what the Start menu does and doesn’t show, what kind of visual feedback happens (or doesn’t) on touchscreens, who can access what on your PC and even what you need to do in order to unlock your device.

In this tutorial we’ll discover how to adjust almost everything to make your PC uniquely yours, from the lock screen and Start menu to which apps open what kind of files.
