Hello mate!

The best way to do this, if you're using a Windows OS. Right click on the image(on Desktop as you have said) and select Properties in the options. After that you'll be able to see the location of your image, then copy the path and paste it to your code. (don't forget to add your image name).

like so.

Background-image: url('C:\Users\YourPCNAME\Desktop\yourimage.jpeg');

Cheers!
