Thanks Dale

I don't have a new Mac but I have the latest OS loaded so this should work.
Look at System Preferences under the Apple menu. Then select Energy Saver. (the light bulb icon on the 4th row) You will have several options.

Dale, you set up a lot of the things in a Mac using Preferences. The icon looks like the one below, or as someone said, go to the Apple menu. I think the Apple store may give classes? It would benefit you to take one or more of them if they do and you can get there. The system is different from that of a PC but very simple when you get the hang of it. I've been on a Mac for 35 years.

Might be worth an overnight, it would most likely save you a lot of future trouble and get you up and operating more quickly. Just my thought on it.

You can also set the time before the screensaver comes on. System Preferences / Desktop and Screensaver
