coming from 25 years of Windows usage, bought an M3 Air after hearing good things, and trying to learn this sort of alien OS while pulling out the hairs that are left, this video is the best one I will save this for repeat viewing
So Good!!! I appreciate that you don't talk so darned fast as the other tutorials I have tried to watch; it takes a minute to absorb the information! You do a great job of being clear and quite thorough in presenting the material in a easy to understand way . This video is a lifesaver for me!
I found this tutorial for beginners absolutely fantastic. I appreciate how the tutorial compared the process with Windows, making it easier for me to understand. I have been a Windows user for over 20 years and just recently bought a MacBook. This video was like a light in a dark room for me. I am very grateful for the help. Thank you so much.
I just bought a Macbook pro and was worried that the transition from Windows to Mac will be frustrating and difficult. But since i follow your step by step tutorial, the switch has been quite easy. I am still figuring out the Macbook, but I am now more confident with my new laptop. Thank you for making these videos.
Anson, thanks very much. Super helpful for someone like me moving from windows to mac! Keep up the good work!
nach über 20 jahren auf Windows habe ich mir nun ein Macbook gekauft . deshalb bin ich für dieses ausführliche, bestens erklärte video mehr als dankbar . fantastisch ! vielen herzlichen dank !
Absolutely fantastic. Very nice introduction for beginners. I can notice it was very well prepared. Thank you a lot!🥰
Thank you so much for this video. Yours is so much better than all the other ones - you actually cover lots of tiny details like unmounting the dmg drives after installation and fixing the inverted scroll wheel. Plus you have chapters and everything is laid out logically.
As a programmer who just got forced onto mac today because of a job, I appreciate this more than you know.
You're very welcome. I'm glad to hear it. Those are some of the nuances that I felt most people would want to know about so happy to hear it's helping out. Good luck with the new job!
Thank you. I’m a academic and have been using both . I purchased the MacBook Pro M2 and I’m digging in with my Apple products and educate myself on the proper way to use it . God bless you and thank you for your service.❤
Just got my new iMac with the M3 SOC, glad I found your channel. I wanted it in Starlight color, but wasn't available, so I opted for the Teal Green. I will return here as I continue to transition to the Mac Universe. Be blessed in Him. Post Tenebras Lux.
New Subscriber Here - also a new RUclipsr just over a year. Thank you sooo much. I've been working with Windows all of my life and just started working on my MacBook. OMG originally felt like I was in a maze and couldn't get out, Everytime I would do a what would I do in Windows, wrong and then got frustrated. I came across your video and it was a great intro to the mac world. Thank you it is so appreciated.
Love the vid! being a newbie to the apple eco-system making the transition from windows to Mac, this vid was very informative and helpful. Can't wait to see your other tutorial videos to watch and learn. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this basics tutorial. I've been on Windows ever since Windows 95 and my first 386, but my new job is on Mac, so now I gotta start all over again at the age of 68. Your tutorial has helped a lot.
You're welcome, I'm glad it helped and good luck with the new job!
Bought my first Mac; this was awesome... exactly what I needed to get started 🙏
Great tutorial!.. I’ve been a Mac owner and user for a while, I learned quite a bit today from your excellent and through instruction! Now I’ll set up my new Mac so that it’s customized and efficient for me!. Looking forward to the next episode
That's awesome to hear that even experienced Mac learners can learn from this tutorial. I hope the new setup is going well and, don't worry, I have plenty more Mac content coming up!
Great work. I love how you explain things. This has been very helpful. I’m now more confident with the shift from windows to Mac. Continue with the Good work. 👊🏽
Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful and that my teaching style worked for you!
Thank you so much. I’ve been using windows for the last 30 years. I just purchased a Mac and I’m ready to learn it as quickly as possible . Thank you so much sir!
As a long time Windows user this was just what I was looking for, as I've just purchased my first Mac!
I decided to upgrade to Ventura based on this video. Thanks :-)
thank you so much this was so instructive, clear and nicely explain !❤
Thank you so much.. I will be a new Mac OS user on Friday, so great to know how to navigate/Customize!
Your tutorial was EXTREMELY helpful as I transition to a Mac after 20 years using Windows. You answered practically every question I had, including how to change the scrolling direction on the mouse! Thank you!
You're very welcome! I'm glad the scroll wheel tip helped - I don't know why Apple still keeps it like that by default...
(I'm still watching) Wait what - I can change that! That's amazing.
@@AnsonAlexander Because it base on the screen scrolling of a touch screen device like a phone. I dont liked it at first but my brain have make the switch and it more natural when you think because the trackpad work the same.
This is an awesome tutorial of the basics. Last time I used a Mac was during my Postgraduate studies in 1987 and wanted to get back on the wagon of trying it out on a VM. Your clip is a great assistance tool on this journey. Thank you!
I'm glad to hear it was helpful, thanks for letting me know. Welcome back to Mac and hope you enjoy!
Thank you! Very helpful. Just purchased and setup a Mac Mini M2. Now I can learn how to use.
I happened to see your tutorial on the MAC OS today. Excellent! Thank you.
I was a previous MAC user, but not the most current OS. Thanks so much for you had work creating this tutorial. Much appreciated!
You're welcome! I'm glad you were able to find it and that it was helpful!
Thank you so much. Very high quality: concise, clear, demonstrative, passionate. NOTE: I am new to Mac and the laptop I bought is running Big Sur, but I fount your tutorial incredibly helpful all the same.
That's great to hear, I'm glad it was helpful!
Thank you Anson!! I really appreciated this video. Just bought my first MacBook and you helped me out a LOT.
That's great to hear, I'm glad it helped!
Excellent presentation and I have using Mac for 10+ years and learned things I didn’t know about from your videos for beginners
I will share this
Thanks for the tip to head here as well - I'm still learning on my new work Mac but am feeling much more confident.
That's great to hear, there is a lot to learn but once you get to a certain point you can do a lot of self learning by checking out all of the different options, settings and apps available.
Just got a Mac mini this was very helpful. Thanks for taken the time to make something like this. Coming from windows so I was kinda lost.
You're welcome, I'm glad it was helpful!
Alex thank you so much. I’ve been a long time windows user and recently decided to jump head first into the Apple ecosystem. I already have an iphone, watch and ipad which I love and it was only a matter of time to purchase a MacBook. Your video was a great introduction into the MacBook Air Vibe. Great detail, I used my ipad and practiced on the Mac. RUclips was a useful tool that alowed me to start, stop and refresh a day later if i forgot something. I feel i’m now off to a good start. Thanks
Absolutely Fantastic... Saved my time.... Thank you very much!!!!
Love the update for Ventura. I watched your previous tutorial video and loved it!
I'm so glad, it was time for an update!
Thank you this was so helpful. Windows user of many years and new to mac. Have taken notes and will enjoy exploring 😊
I'm a PC user trying to help a friend with her Mac. Your video has been very helpful by comparing how things are done in Windows as compared to IOS. Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot for making this video. You have explain everything to start with MacOs in crisp. Your efforts are very much appreciated. I am benefiting a lot after going through your video.
Excellent video. Nicely organized and presented.
This tutorial was just so helpfull! Thank you for your time and for doing this video!
You're welcome, I'm glad it helped!
As a long time windows user but new to mac, this was spot on. Very helpful, thank you!
Really great presentation, thank you! I am a long time windows user and I've also used Linux for over 10 years.
I don't think we need to say one is better, it's fun using all three
This is a masterpiece, amazing job my friend. Much gratitude towards you. Keep up the good work. Thank you greatly for this great tutorial.
Thanks a lot, really appreciate it! I'm glad you found it helpful!
very simple explanation and helpful. thank you
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Extremely helpful!
So glad I came across your channel. I have been a Windows user for years and I finally decided to add a Mac to my Apple Ecosystem(my Apple Ecosystem is finally complete 😁)
I was trying to use my Mac as a windows computer 🤦🏾♀️
Your video is very detailed! Thanks so much 😊
You're very welcome! I'm glad you found it so helpful! I like that it sounds like you're seeing them as both unique instead of just one better than or worse than the other.
Thank you so much! My boss just bought me a MacBook and I am shocked at how much I'm struggling despite using all the other Apple products for years. I just queued up a ton of your other tutorials, too.
You're welcome! I'm glad to hear you found it helpful! At least now you can add another skill to your toolbox!
Thank you so much for this great video, Anson! It was very useful!

What an excellent tutorial you’ve made!
Thank you!
Thank you for this video tutorial. I found it extremely helpful. MAC for the Windows user - genius!!
Haha, you're welcome, I'm glad it helped!
Really thanks for the effort that you have put. Really helped me. A big Thanks 🤩
Just switched to all Apple products after decades of Windows. Whoa like learning a new language. This was very helpful especially the Finder section and some of the settings. I did like Windows file system and now can customize Mac to operate similarly. Also a few of the settings I couldn't find like the mouse wheel (UGH!) that was annoying. Great job on the video.
THanks Judith! I'm glad you found it helpful. Good luck on switching over - can't hurt to be able to drive both Mac and Windows!
Thank you very much for this'! I just ordered a MacBook Air m2 base model and im very excited to get started and leave windows behind me 🎉
Awesome to hear, good luck with the new Mac!
Thank you very much for this
You're welcome, I"m glad you found it helpful!

Excellent step by step instructions. However, I would like to see you zoom in more on the examples you were giving.
Very helpful tutorial. Thanks a lot!
You're welcome, glad to hear it!
I like your tutorial is so easy understand
I’m Spanish speaking for my ears is so clear I watched this video as a class I’m keeping washing to learn from you how to speak clear like you
Sound crazy but is the truth
Thanks you so much.
thank you !! thank you !! thank you !!
Thank you very much Anson, you earned a sub and like from a macbook novice!
You're welcome, I'm glad it was helpful!
Great tutorial, Alexander. Comparison with Windows is helpful. Thank you.
You're welcome, I'm glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the "refresher". I've not used Apple much since the IIc and I think IIgs. I do have an iBook G4 (PowerPC) that was given to be compile plugins in xCode for some Mac using friends so they could use some plugins I wrote for Linux and Windows versions of TeamSpeak. So, I used PuTTY and FileZilla when using that system way more than the UI. But I've ordered the new MBA 15".
Around the 36-minute mark you discussed maximizing windows. The double-click in the title bar you mentioned for Mac has worked in Windows as well for decades. The drag to top feature you mentioned for Windows is a newer feature than the older double click method.
You're welcome! I'm glad it helped and thanks for the info on maximizing in Windows!
Really useful video, thank you
You're welcome!
95% Windows user. I use the IOS on phone and tablet and love the exchange of data. Time for a Mac. So far, very happy. Love your tutorial!
Hi, I just watched this and 2019 version, they are both very helpful because I just started using MacBook and have been using Windows since like a billion years ago. Thanks for the right-to-the-point tutorials👍
36:36 lmao that's me
Awesome, I'm glad you found them helpful! Good luck on the Mac!
great video, and helpful as a brand new mac user. uboxed my new macbook air today, always been on windows.
For me I am glad I changed from Windows to Mac, this for sure.
Windows is a mess comparing with Apple. I bought a computer running on Windows, I installed Linux.
Do you recommend a macbook air M1 for a software engineering student?
@@user-bh4bn5dq1l I've been programming on my old laptop that costs 300 dollars and that was enough for most of the time. So yeah, M1 is good enough when you're a student. Then, when you'll get a job, you may think about better options but now it's completely okay.
Just fantastic, greetings from The Netherlands!
My favorite place!
Great tutorial, thank you!
You're welcome!
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome!
Thanks for your video
Excellent Anson, just what I've been looking for. I'm a long time (many years) Windows person wanting to switch to Mac and your video gives me the confidence to jump. Now I need to figure how to convert my chrome bookmarks that I keep on my Windows desktop to be stored and used from a folder(s) in the Mac's Desktop folder. Any ideas? Is there a translator utility to do the job?
thanks for this video, im a new user of mcbook, im happy i watched this video...many thanks
You're welcome, I'm glad it was helpful!
Thank you
This was so helpful! More helpful than calling AppleCare. This tutorial encouraged me to keep trying to use my new Macbook Pro rather than switching back to a PC. We'll see!
thank you
You just saved my sanity! Thank you so much!
You're welcome, glad to help!
Amazing tuturial
