How do I get the checkered background?

Hello, how do I get the checkered background in photoshop? I've tried creating a new layer and deleting the background but I'm still not getting a checkered canvas. Do I need to change my settings?

Hi

Go to File > New and select Transparent

Thanks for this. I tried that, still nothing!

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible? 

What are the Photoshop > Perferences > Transparency & Gamut-settings?

Is it because it's set to none?

Yes, just select another option
