Some of the finer details that’s always helped macOS feel that bit more premium than Windows are the little things like wallpapers without color banding, and those gorgeous crispy screensavers. Now that you have the know-how, listed below are our favorite Windows screensavers. Other screensavers come as “exe” files with their own instructions. The install methods for screensavers you download vary, but if you download a screensaver (scr) file, you can just right-click it, then click “Install” to get it. In the new window, you can choose your screensaver, as well as change how long it takes to appear and whether it should go to the login screen on resumption. To do so, right-click your desktop, then click “Personalize -> Lock screen -> Screen saver settings” (at the bottom). There you have it, simple and useful (much like myself).Before we start, you should know the basics of setting your Windows screensaver.
