    I know nothing about W10, but surely you have to post more details on why you can't and what happens.
    And why do you want to do this?

    under WHAT programme are you unable to save a file , that you were able to with an earlier version of win.


    if its a picture in an email for example , what prog are you viewing the pic with?

    'Desktop' is just a folder where you can save different files and shortcuts.
    What you really need/want is to use the picture as the desktop background, not to "save it to desktop".

    the reason for asking what type of file and the prog used for opening it , win 10 uses a new proggy as default to open JPGs etc , there is NOT a option to save (as required) and Microsoft have disabled the earlier photo viewer , this can be restored by running winearo tweaker

    Is Right Click >> Personalise not available anymore?

    right click /personalise IS there on a WIN 10 setup , I have no idea if its there or not on a win7/8 hybrid upgrade.


    at this point we are both speculating on the OPs question , you think he wants to change his background screen , I think he wants to save a Photo or as file that he has received by email


    until the OP explains more we are going around in circles
