      @@jerryatrick6127 There are differences, but more the same than I expected. There are a few keys that are different, the way you install apps is different. There is menu bar at the top of the screen that gives you access to a lot of settings and functions, and a dock at the bottom. The dock is similar to Windows but it adds and removes apps as you use them. Apple is much more security conscious, and ask for your password doing things that I normally do on Windows without a password. I like my Mac. Its different, but enough is the same that there is not a steep learning curve.

It was very annoying, i thought it was going to be like my ipad or my iphone, it's more complicated. i didn't even know how to right click, copy and paste, that i had to keep my cell next to me to surf how to do things on a mac. Was very frustrating and annoying and even thought of returning it. But it works well with our other devices, so i have to stick with it and learn.

    Great video for mac beginners! Would love a video that helps me organize my files that have been downloaded from Word and Excel. Managing files on a mac seems much more difficult than a pc.

    I'm a newbie and this was done very nice (as good as the one from 2014) and look forward to finding more!! Great job!! Oh, I've been a PCer since before they came out (Commodore) :-) Since Windows has gotten so messed up I thought I'd give a Mac a try :-) Oh, I'm 67 yrs young too :-)

    just got my very first MacBook Air laptop and I'm completely lost but after watching this video I feel there is light at the end of the tunnel. I've always had a windows laptop, apple iPhone and apple iPads so I am familiar with some of apples apps and how it works. In saying that the laptop is a whole new experience and I am looking forward to the challenge. Not sure I like the 'numbers' app on here prefer excel but will watch a few video's to get me over my fear. I have subscribed to your channel a) because your video's are awesome and b)you have a lovely calming voice which is so important to me. Thanks again will watch more tomorrow and hopefully switch over from windows without having a nervous breakdown and drinking the contents of my bar lol

    Least intuitive part of macos to me (a longtime windows user) is having the menu bar at the top instead of in the app window. Second would be the red button not always closing apps and needing to go into the menu and quit them. Otherwise they seem similar enough to me to not be a big deal.

    Thanks! I just got the new M1 MacBook Air yesterday and I literally spent 20 minutes just staring at the screen trying to figure out how to install a program that I downloaded. I finally figured out that you just have to drag the icon an inch across the screen and drop it on the applications folder icon. My gosh.

    MacOS is fantastic. I am a pro at it and still just wanted to watch for the fun of it. it really is the best OS. i would not hide the bar at the bottom while trying to teach.
    and, one last thing, the Red X will "close" utilities (sys pref, notes, etc) but does NOT close Programs (safari, mail etc)
