How to change the background in the Windows 8 and 8.1 Start screen
Head over to the Start Screen, if you aren’t there already. If you’re at the classic desktop UI, just press the Windows key on your keyboard, which should take you straight there.

From there, type in “change start.” Click on “Change the background and colors on Start,” which should be the first result that comes up.

Now, a “Personalize” menu will come up in the Metro UI. Here, you can pick from a multitude of images that you can slather the Start screen with. Once you pick one, you can also tweak that image’s by messing with the “Background color” and “Accent color” settings.
