Although the windows that you have open are likely to cover the image, it is still a good idea to put something that inspires you in the background. Wallpapers are a simple way to personalize your workspace and create a little motivation. Wallpapers are the images that you can set as your desktop background, and they serve to remind us that there’s much more in this world than the text and figures that comprise most of our day. Every version of Windows, from the ancient days of Windows 3.1 all the way through Windows 10, has brought with it a library of wallpaper images for users of the operating system to put on their desktop.
