To personalize your computer you can use a set screen saver. Screen savers protect your screen against burn-in, etc., but are also used to serve as a background when the computer is not in use.
By default, Windows offers a few screen savers for you to choose from. In this guide I explain how you can set a screensaver with a video yourself. It allows you to select a video file on your computer and set it as a screen saver.
You can also create this video file via YouTube, for example. Suppose you want to set a specific YouTube video as a screensaver, then this is possible. This is how it works.
Set video as screen saver
To begin download “Video Saver” to your computer. Then right-click on VideoScreensaver.scr and click “Install” to install the screen saver in Windows 11 or 10.
From the taskbar, search for “Change screen saver” to open the screen saver settings.
Select “VideoScreenSaver” as the screen saver and click the “Settings” button to select a video file.
You have now set a video as a screen saver. Suppose you prefer to use a video from YouTube, you must first convert the YouTube video to a video file. This can be done via the SaveFrom.net website.
Enter the URL of the YouTube video you want to set as a screen saver. Then click the “Download” button to download the YouTube video as a video file (MP4) to your computer. Then select the video file via the above instruction and set it as a screen saver.
I hope to have informed you with this. Thank you for reading!

I also have a tip.
If I want to reinstall Windows, I usually do so on an external USB SSD, so that I can quietly build, tune and set everything up. That takes quite a bit of time, that's why I do it this way. The problem, however, is that during the update Windows sees that the OS is on a USB drive and that is not supported (you usually get that message after downloading an update and while installing it). Changing the value of a registry key solved the problem.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control Change the value of the PortableOperatingSystem registry key from 1 to 0 or vice versa if you want to turn it back on.
When Windows is completely ready on the external drive, I make an image of it and put it back on C: internal drive or if you don't have an image program, you can also clone it. Hope I can help someone with this, kind regards, Evert
awesome. Thanks for the effort and solutions
