Hi all,
I recently bought a PC instead of a Mac, after having a macbook for 10 or 11 years (the same one). Does anyone have any tips for getting used to Windows? I used to use windows in the past but now I am a bit rusty at navigating it I guess. Anyway, any advice or tips would be cool. Or if you just want to share that's cool too. __________________ "Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it!” |

Hi, thanks for replying! It's windows 10. I am figuring it out, haha. I just downloaded a game - the Sims 4 so we'll see how that goes.

The advice I have? Return your PC and buy a good used Mac from the internet.

I find for most jobs nowadays, you have to use Windows 10 on a PC.

I know, haha. That's why it's pretty ironic. My Mac could run Windows. But I figured, what's the point of getting another Mac if these programs I need for work only run on Windows? __________________ "Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it!” |

Yeah, you're right. I know it's not as black/white of a distinction anymore that a PC is a work computer and a Mac is an art computer, etc. Anyway, I still have my old MacBook Pro just in case I need to use it for whatever sentimental reason.
