    There's freeware to allow you to convert from PNG to ICO or you can google and do it online.
    Here's one: ConvertICO.com - Convert PNG to ICO and ICO to PNG

    It didn't work. Thank you for your time though.

    I used TileCreator from windows store. It's just a bit tricky to use at first but follow the directions exactly as stated here and it will all fall into place. Now it only takes about 30 seconds to change my tiles/icons on start menu. Biggest thing is to remember to "run as admin" or else it won't work. Just go find the .png or .jpeg you would like to use as the tile (or icon) and apply.
