You absolutely can bring that beautiful Windows 8 default lock screen image (the one with the colorful tower) into your Windows 10 setup—it just takes a few steps. Here’s how you can do it:

🌆 Step 1: Find the Windows 8 Default Image

• The default lock screen images in Windows 8 are stored in the system files.

• On your Windows 8 laptop, look in:

  Code

  C:\Windows\Web\Screen
  

• Inside that folder, you’ll find the default lock screen wallpapers, including the tower image you love.

💾 Step 2: Copy the Image

• Copy the image file (right‑click → Copy).

• Transfer it to your Windows 10 PC using a USB drive, cloud storage (OneDrive, Google Drive), or even email.

🎨 Step 3: Set It as Your Lock Screen / Theme

On your Windows 10 PC:

1. Go to Settings → Personalization → Lock screen.

2. Under Background, choose Picture.

3. Browse to the image you transferred and select it.

4. If you want it as your desktop wallpaper too, go to Background in Personalization and set it there.

✨ Optional: Create a Theme

• You can save this setup as a custom theme in Windows 10.

• In Personalization, after setting your wallpaper and lock screen, click Themes → Save theme.

• That way, you’ll always have your “Windows 8 Tower Theme” ready to apply.

So yes—you can absolutely bring that nostalgic Windows 8 look into Windows 10. It’s just a matter of grabbing the original image and setting it as your lock screen or wallpaper.

Would you like me to also guide you on how to extract all the Windows 8 wallpapers (not just the tower one) so you can have the full theme pack on Windows 10?

Enjoy setting up your desktop with that beautiful tower image, and may your PC always greet you with colors that make you smile. Have a fantastic day yourself! 🌟

Since you love themes and visuals, would you like me to show you how to create a custom slideshow theme in Windows 10 so you can rotate between multiple favorite wallpapers (including that Windows 8 one) automatically?

3.   Copilot , could you please teach me how do i remove all the Windows Tiles from my Windows 10 PC/Desktop ? ALL the Windows Tiles on my Windows 10 PC/Desktop is blocking or causing an obstruction to the beautiful view of the Windows 8  OS Picture/Theme which i have already set up just now , with your help Copilot ??? THANKS for the answer.

Got it—you want that gorgeous Windows 8 picture to shine without being blocked by tiles. In Windows 10, those “tiles” are part of the Start Menu, not the desktop itself. Here’s how you can clear them out so your wallpaper is fully visible:

🖼️ Remove Tiles from the Start Menu

1. Press the Windows key to open the Start Menu.

2. Right‑click on each tile (like Mail, Weather, Xbox, etc.).

3. Select Unpin from Start.

   • Do this for all tiles until the Start Menu is clean.

🖥️ Make the Start Menu Smaller

• After unpinning everything, you can resize the Start Menu:

  1. Open the Start Menu.

  2. Hover over the edge until the resize arrow appears.

  3. Drag to make it narrower or shorter.

🌟 Bonus: Use a Clean Desktop

• If you also want to remove desktop icons (so only your wallpaper shows):

  1. Right‑click on the desktop.

  2. Go to View.

  3. Uncheck Show desktop icons.

Now your Windows 8 theme picture will be completely unobstructed, giving you that clean, beautiful view every time you boot up.

Would you like me to also show you how to hide the taskbar automatically so the wallpaper fills the entire screen without any bars at the bottom?
