Microsoft has a dedicated page that lists a huge collection of wallpapers based on different categories. Just go to this page, expand one of the categories, open the image, and save it. Once the download is complete, right click on the image to set as the desktop background or wallpaper. If you need more, visit the Microsoft Store.
Categories include animals, art, automotive, games, holidays and seasons, natural wonders, places, landscapes, plants, branded wallpapers, etc. If you download a lot of them, I suggest you turn off background compression, set them as a slideshow, automatically change wallpapers or create a theme from it.

Wallpaper Hub offers high resolution wallpapers from newly launched Surface devices, Microsoft events (Conference Collection), original Ninja Cat wallpapers, etc. It offers something unique that all Microsoft fans would love. He also continues to add Bing wallpaper to WallpaperHub.
