Sync is enabled by default and includes 'theme' settings (which includes wallpapers), but this feature may not simply transfer your wallpaper if that's the only thing you've customized on the account, and in our testing the theme settings that are synced may not be the most recent. If you have a Microsoft account with theme settings synced to it from an activated copy of Windows 10, those should be applied to the non-activated copy as you log in for the first time.

Other settings such as custom sounds and colors can also be applied. Right clicking on any image file around a non-activated installation of Windows 10 will still provide the option to 'set as desktop background,' and the same can be done by right clicking on pictures in a web browser, as well as the '.' menu in the Photos app. Fortunately, applying a new wallpaper isn't impossible, despite some of the menu options being blocked.

While most of the operating system can be used for free without providing an activation key, not having access to the personalization menus can be annoying if you like having custom colors, sounds, start menu and task bar settings, or again, even just your own desktop background. However, applying your own customizations to a copy of Windows 10 that hasn't been activated may not be so straightforward since Microsoft blocks access to the software's personalization settings without a valid product license.

It's only a matter of time before most people want a new desktop background and changing your wallpaper is one of the first things you would typically do after installing a new operating system.
