    I bought a Alienware 13R2 recently.
    After that, i updated to Windows 10 Anniversary Update and then lost my original Alienware wallpapers and user pictures.
    I had found them for long times on google but seemed diffierent with original ones.

    As i know, the wallpapers and user pictures can be taken back from the following two locations, but i cannot find them anyway.

    Wallpapers:
    C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\

    User Pictures/Icons
    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\Default Pictures

    Can anyone give me those since they were quite awesome compared to the ones on google. I would really appreciate it.

    Thank you so much, ThatOldGuy.
    But the last updated of these wallpapers was 12 Dec 2013. Are there any changes until to 2016?
    Also, do you have the latest Alienware User Pictures?
    The adjunct of the files should be (.bmp),right?
    I tried to find from google but no solution.

    I think all the images on the first link are up to date, with the images above 1080p being the newer ones.

    As for User Profile pics, I don't know. Always assumed they were just the wallpapers modified for image size (easy enough to do). As soon as I signed into my new AW 13 R2 it used my Microsoft account pic anyway

    I don't have it for the latest systems and do not know what they have now that is different. If you want to go retro look and feel, here is what you need for stock wallpaper, OOBE, user account and System Properties images. I extracted everything from a factory installation and used to use this on all of my Alienware systems to restore the look and feel after a clean install using OEM/RTM Windows installation media. I have this in my Google Drive. There are some registry files you can merge to help Windows know where to look for things. See the ReadMe file.
