Today’s featured tech tip….
Tips for switching from Windows to a Mac
Did you recently buy your first Mac after using nothing but Windows machines for years?
If so, you might be having difficulty figuring out how to do common tasks on your Mac that were routine on your Windows PCs.
Truth be told, Windows PCs and Macs have a lot in common in regards to their features and capabilities.
Although their names might be different and you might not know where to find them, pretty much every type of Windows feature and tool is available on your Mac.
This Support page on the Apple website explains how to find the Mac equivalents to several important Windows features and tools.
