Windows Screensavers

14 Windows screensavers that run well on Raspberry Pi.

Once installed, you can launch Botspot's Screensavers GUI from:

Raspberry Pi OS has 32-bit and 64-bit variants, both of which will run on most Raspberry Pi computers, including the Pi 3, Pi 4, and Pi5.
Windows Screensavers will run on either PiOS 32-bit or 64-bit.
