[SOLVED] Live Wallpapers on Windows 10 desktop?

This question was solved long ago.

My brother has Windows 7 Ultimate on a Dell PC and asked me to upgrade him (he has no clue how to do things like that) to Windows 10 but then backed out after I told him he would lose his Live Waterfall background wallpapers. He told me if Windows 10 does not have live wallpapers he would never ever upgrade. He uses his computer desktops soothing water fall sounds to sleep, per his doctors orders.

So, how can I enable live wallpapers on Windows 10 Pro? If it does not exist can Microsoft please enable that feature again please? Thank You.

Best Regards

Rod

EDIT: Found the app "Wallpaper Engine" over at my Steam account.

Yes thank you Ashish Sondhi, but like I said I am needing to find "Live animated Wallpapers" like you find on Vista and 7 before he can upgrade to 10.

I have already upgraded to 10 back in January on build 9926 myself, but some of my family members refuse to upgrade until certain features, such as Live Wallpapers, come back to Windows.

Thanks anyway, I will keep searching.

Best Regards,

Rod

Is he using DreamScene?  That feature was cut as it wasn't very effective performance-wise, despite being interesting.  I believe there are third party utilities/tools that can do this kind of thing, but there currently is no supported in-system way to do this.

Windows 7 did not have Live Wallpapers natively.  That was JUST Windows Vista.

You could hack Windows 7 (supposedly) to do it...

I installed Live Wallpapers on 7 using DreamScene for Windows 7. It worked perfectly whether it was native or not. However it does not seem to work on 10 at all. 

I guess he can just stay on Windows 7 forever, or until someone finds a work around, or I find one... haha

Thanks again

Rod

Similar items come with a Mac.
My MBP has live wallpapers (I don't believe I purchased a third party solution, though I could be wrong).

I just gave up looking for a solution and he gave up on the idea of upgrading. Why fix something that isn't broken? If his computer ever breaks, then I will worry about it.
