How to set different wallpapers on dual monitors in Windows 10

2. In the new menu, browse for the images you want. Find both of the images you want so they're pre-loaded in the "Choose your picture" bar.

3. Right-click the images you want from this bar. This will allow you to assign each image to its own monitor. They will all be "fit" in the same way (you can select this using the "Choose a fit" drop-down menu), so it's a good idea to choose images that are similar dimensions.

Do this for both pictures, and they will appear on your monitors.

While you have multiple displays set up, you'll also be offered a new fit option "Span." Span will allow long images, like panoramic shots, to be stretched across the multiple displays.

To do this:

1. Set the long image as the background on your first monitor.

2. Under "Choose a fit," select "Span."

3. The image will fill both monitors.
