You can use the Lock screen on your Windows 8 PC as a digital photo frame. This can be useful if you have a Windows tablet such as a Surface, which comes with a stand. You can use any (or indeed all) of the pictures on your PC to display and you configure it through PC Settings.
To turn the Lock screen into a digital photo frame, click the Settings charm and then click Change PC Settings in the bottom right of the screen. When PC Settings open, click the tile for the Lock screen at the top of your screen.
When the Lock screen settings open, in the Slide Show section you will see your Pictures folder is selected, but you can click/touch this to remove it and add a different, or several different, pictures folders to use as the Slide Show.
Below these options are two additional switches. The first controls how long your PC is inactive before it locks and displays the Slide Show. This can be from 1 minute to 1 hour. The second switch tells the PC to switch off the display when the slide show has been running for a certain period of time, or not to turn off at all. Remember though that unless your PC is plugged in, leaving the Slide Show running will drain the battery.
When you are ready to activate the Slide Show and use your Lock screen as a digital photo frame, click/tap the Slide Show On switch.
