passing id

Hello, I'm very new to Salesforce Development and I am struggling to figure this out. So i want to create 2 VF pages and 2 controllers and I want to create new account and insert that account when I'm pressing the Save button, then i want to redirect to second visualforce page and on the second visualforce page i want to fetch the id from the account which is just created and outputfield the value, the name of account. I just started creating the first visualforce page and controller. I dont know if i'm doing this right.

apex:page controller="screen1">
   <apex:form>
       <apex:pageBlock>
           <apex:pageBlockSection>
               <apex:inputField value="{!account.name}"/>
               <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}"/>
           </apex:pageBlockSection>
       </apex:pageBlock>
   </apex:form>
</apex:page>


Controller:

public class screen1 
{
  
    public Account account;

    public Account getAccount()
    {
      if(account == null)
      {
         account = new account();
      }
      return account;
    }

     public PageReference save()
     {
       getAccount();
       if(account != null)
       {
           insert account;
       }
       PageReference pageRef = new PageReference('/apex/screen2');
       pageRef.setRedirect(true);
       return PageReference;
     }
}
I have an error here: Error: Compile Error: DML requires SObject or SObject list type: Account at line 20 column 12

Hi Triff,
Copy Below Code , this code is same as your requirement 
First Visualforce Page-:

<apex:page standardController="Account" extensions="screen1">
   <apex:form>
       <apex:pageBlock>
           <apex:pageBlockSection>
               <apex:inputField value="{!account.name}"/>
               <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}"/>
           </apex:pageBlockSection>
       </apex:pageBlock>
   </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Extension Controller-:

public with sharing class screen1 
{
    private ApexPages.StandardController controller;
    public Account account;
    public screen1 (ApexPages.StandardController controller) {
            this.controller = controller;
    }
    
     public PageReference save()
     {
       controller.save();
       PageReference congratsPage = Page.VfScreen2;
        congratsPage.setRedirect(true);
        congratsPage.getParameters().put('id',controller.getId());
        return congratsPage;
       //return pageRef;
     }
}

This above Visualforce page Save Your account record and redirect to Second Visualforce page to display Inserted Account Name

Second Visualforce Page-:

<apex:page standardController="Account">
   <apex:form>
       <apex:pageBlock>
           <apex:pageBlockSection>
               <apex:outputField value="{!account.name}"/>
               
           </apex:pageBlockSection>
       </apex:pageBlock>
   </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Please mark it as solved, it will help others
