I have my macbook connected to an external monitor and I want to be able to close the macbook and still have the screen mirroring show on the external monitor. Everything online says this can be addressed in the energy saver preference, but my macbook does not have that preference. Thoughts?

You must have an Energy Save pref Pane.
Connect your display
Connect your display to power, then connect your display to your Mac. Check the ports on your Mac to find out whether you need an adapter.
If you use an external keyboard and mouse with your Mac notebook, you can close the built-in display after you connect your external display. You might have to press a key or click your mouse to wake the external display.
If your external display doesn't turn on after you connect it to your Mac, connect your display while your Mac is off, then wake or turn on your Mac.
