Starting Fresh with Mac
 

Hey There! I recently switched from PC to Mac and I'm taking it slow, learning, adding things from my external HD and trying to figure out how to set things up. If you've been through this, what do you wish you would have done differently? Thanks!

Good luck! I'm struggling adjust to moving from an android to an iphone. Can't imagine the learning curve to go from PC to Mac.

The one good thing about a Mac is that the operating system looks so much like the iPhone operating system. It feels familiar to me. What is hard are the keyboard shortcuts and trying to decide where to save things. Good luck with your new iPhone! I hope you love it in the end. :)

Hooray for a new mac!! I made the switch so long ago so I don't have anything to offer.

Zero advice here. Switched away from macs many years ago just before ipods and iphones came out and and their was a software drought for them. Plus at the time my father could get a killer deal for me on a pc. The funny thing about your post is that macs were always advertised as the easy computer to use.

I just switched from Windows 10 to 11 and do not like the folders!

I did this switch many years ago, but use a PC daily for work so if you have any specific questions feel free to ask me :) I think the thing I wish I had done earlier was fully integrate my photos. I used my exiting windows 'folder' type system for 2-3 years after switching, and once I put them all into Photos and realized they'd sync with my phone, life changed!!!

ooo, that's something to think about. thanks!!

Hooray for the switch to mac. My switch to mac was so many years ago that I forget about it... I'd say for sure I do not miss Windows OS one bit.
