Learn MacOs

Hi, all this is my first post. I’m totally new to MacOS as I’ve always used windows and Android.

I’ve recently made the switch and purchased the MacBook Pro 14 M1 however, it’s a bit daunting and I’m finding it difficult to figure everything out.

Thank you 😊

I’ve done my own research but, can only find sort videos and mainly just tips and tricks.

Most of the desktop is self explanatory.

If you open a Finder window, you have
Applications (programs)
Movies
Photos
Music
etc

Plus as default a lot of the main apps are in the dock.

I found that those tips and tricks videos are all you really need. I used to be an exclusively Windows user. I'm now comfortable with MacOS. Took a few months, but I'm used to it now.
