How to Get Windows 11 Default Wallpapers in 4K Resolution

Windows 11 has finally become a reality as opposed to counter-beliefs. The new operating system has brought a new user interface, security enhancements, and dozens of other features. This is not everyone’s cup of tea as it requires becoming an insider and being on an OS that is constantly improvising. 

However, when it comes to Windows 11 default wallpapers, everyone wants a little taste of them. Well, if you so desired to have them on your device, this is quite possible without going into installing Windows 11.  

Unlike the latest versions of Windows 10, Windows 11 comes pre-loaded with five basic themes. They are Windows (light and dark), Glow, Sunrise, Flow, and Captured Motion. Two of these themes contain wallpapers in the 4K format i.e. 1920*1080 pixels while the remaining ones are still using the UHD formats. Let’s have a look at all these themes and ways to get their wallpapers for your device.
