Tips for switching from a Windows PC to a Mac

Windows PCs and Macs have a lot in common in regards to the things they can do for you.

The thing is, the ways you do many things on a PC are quite different from the ways you do the same things on a Mac. That means there’s a bit of a learning curve involved with getting up to speed with your first Mac.

To make the transition from the Windows world to the Mac world as smooth and easy as possible, Apple has compiled a set of handy tips and reference materials for you to peruse at your leisure. You’ll find them right here.
