How to Personalize Your Laptop

Last Updated: June 29, 2021

Everyone has a different style, and you want to express that style. While their are many ways to express your style, most people don't think of using their laptop. There are many ways to personalize your laptop, and this wikiHow will show you how.

Steps

1
Buy a laptop case. Buy one that suits you, one that really brings out your individuality. Not only will it look cool and show the real you, it will also protect your laptop! It can keep it from scratches, dents, and whatnot. A case is a great choice.
2
Get stickers. Get special laptop stickers that again, bring out your uniqueness. You need to choose wisely because you will not be able to take them off without ruining your laptop or making it sticky, unless it's a removable one.
3
Get it signed. But this may be a difficult choice to get a hold of. Or, if you have a sharpie/permanent pen, you can sign your own name on it. Be careful as this could look slightly tacky if you don't do it right.
4
Laptop skins. Similar to stickers, but cover the whole of your laptop. Again, be careful when selecting since they can't come off afterward if you change your mind.
5
Personalize the internal side of your laptop. Right click on your desktop >> personalise. You can customize your background image, color scheme, and font size.
6
Get gadgets. You can get the basic free ones that come with Windows (if you have Vista or 7) such as the clock, calendar, mini slideshow, picture game, weather etc. If you want more you can go online (the option will be on there). To get these you right click on your desktop picture>gadgets.

It really depends what operating system you're running, Assuming that you're running Windows 10, all you have to do is head over to your Settings, click Ease Of Access, click Display, and adjust the slider that is under "Make text bigger".
