    Try right clicking in the desktop, select Personalize then look for Desktop Background near the bottom of the screen. Click on that and then browse for the image that you want to use.

    I'm short of other suggestions but I'm sure that it will be somewhere under desktop properties.

    Can you use the search box in the start menu(orb) and search for 'background' or 'change desktop background'?

    I'm wondering if you have the minimum user rights in Windows and everything is locked down.

    You may need to log on as administrator. It is possible that your normal user logon has limited user rights.
