30 years with Windows, and now I am new for MacOS. this video helps me a lot to understand the basics. Thanx a lot :)

[ThomasMuehler]

When I first got my Mac I watched a ton of these videos. But this is by far the best one I've seen. You did a fantastic job at breaking down everything and comparing it directly to windows. This would have saved me so much time if I would have found it eight months ago. Keep up the great work!

Great video, but just some points to note:

1. cut and paste IS an option on MacOS (Yes, I am aware of the disclaimer that said it works with text). In most apps, Cmd-X works just as intended and is just like Windows. But in apps like Finder, Cmd-C copies and Cmd-V pastes it OR Cmd-Option-V cuts and pastes it.

2. The part where you described the Dock was misleading since that is not how the Dock behaves by default (out of the box), a few settings are tweaked in this video.
By default, app windows do not minimize into their respective app icons in the Dock, but towards the right side beside the Bin.
By default, when an app that isn't pinned to Dock is quit, it doesn't disappear but remains in the recents section of the Dock.
To make the Dock behave as intended in this video, the following settings must be changed
- System Pref > Dock & Menu Bar > Minimize windows into app icon > Toggle on
- System Pref > Dock & Menu Bar > Show recent applications in Dock > Toggle off

Don't get me wrong; this video contains everything there is a beginner is to know. Just doing my part here.

As someone who loves computers, I love learning new things about different pieces of software and hardware whether that be programs, operating systems, chip architecture, or just about anything else techy. It's honestly enabled me to help people with their tech, so tips videos like these are my bread and butter.

I recently purchased my first Mac and there was defiantly a learning curve coming from windows but over the last couple weeks I've defiantly gotten use to the new system. Especially after watching your video I feel much more confident using MacOS now. Thank you!

[stylinshunny]

I finally made the switch and awaiting for my first Mac book to arrive. I’ve been a little worried of the change but your video was perfect! I’m a visual learner and I enjoyed watching this. It wasn’t boring and didn’t drag at all. You got right to the point! Thank you !

[opalestat]

Hands down the best video for a any new Mac OS User! No BS straight to the point, fast paced! Great Job!!

[officewithaview-bq]

THANK-YOU. I recently started a YouTube channel and I had no idea how much data is needed for operating a YouTube channel. I had a great idea of switching to a MAC after decades of PC. After 3 weeks I was ready to stop my channel and post my MAC for free to the first person to come get it. I came across your channel and after watching several of your videos I now know there is hope! Thank you much!

[TheShamRulz]

I have always used Windows computers and Android phones. But, got a Mac Mini M2 today, simply because there is nothing else nearly as good at this price range. Anyway, turned it on, and felt like an idiot. Everything felt kinda alien. So, this video has been very helpful. Thank you. Appreciate it.

[tompov]

there's a lot of "new to Mac tutorials" but this is seriously one of the best. The analogies used were spot on especially the comparisons to the iPhone which I feel like most people are more familiar with.

[konstidog]

Good vid! One thing though: moving files is doable. Cmd+C, then Cmd+Opt+V in your destination.
Another useful one is Cmd+Opt+Delete for immediate/full file deletion.

[rohitduda]

We’re planning on getting a new macbook for my sister for college and although I’ve been using macOS for almost 4 years now, I will still be sending her this video to her!

Crisp, clean, and always to the point. Well done E!

[leking]

It's one of the best videos explaining how to use a MacOS system. The way he is comparing the two and how he explaining the reason behind is so good.

[MacTheMischief]

Just bought a MacBook pro M1. I’ve always used PCs and boy was I having a hard time today trying to figure basic commands out. Your video helped a ton! Thanks

[DamianKleiman]

I've been using Macs for over 20 years, and I agree with other comments that your video is the best beginners guide. I'm sharing it with people that asks me about how to start. Youtube should recommend this video to people switching to the Mac.

[davidlane]

Your video is by far the most useful one I've watched so far. I'm new to macos after 16 years on windows.

[DnSage]

I am getting excited about switching over to an iMac from a Windows PC, next week. Your presentation, voice and visuals, are good. I have been a Windows/Android user but moved over to an iPhone because of my hearing aids (the sound and connections are so much easier and better). I decided that the ability to use both iPhone and Windows has been cumbersome and that there would be so much more 'connection' with a Mac that I decided to switch. You are going to make me transition, so much easier! Thank you!

[JasonPolkovitz]

Thanks for this. I am going to share it around, as I have friends and family who use Macs but came from a Windows background and this is a nice intro to the basics.

[kola_mc]

Just bought a Macbook Pro a couple days ago, and until this video, in between every action I was trying to do, I had to look up a tutorial. Thanks for all the tips and insight! The shortcuts part helped tremendously! Subscribed!
