Re: New to this group and questions about the Mac

[Brennen Kinch]

Hi Dave, I really appreciate your advice for sure and I will definitely take some time learning how to use the Mac that’s one of the biggest reasons that I’m buying it because I want to learn a new operating system, but I did also want to mention because I forgot to mention it in my first message that I do know how to use an iPhone and Apple TV and an Apple Watch Sent from my iPhone On May 24, 2026, at 11:57 AM, Dave Carlson <dgcarlson0...@gmail.com> wrote: Brennen, First tip is to not jump in right away thinking you will get a MAC/Win computer set up out of the box. It’s not trivial to have two operating systems on the same machine. Get the Mac, and spend several months learning how to use it. Tutorials are available on Applevis to help getting started, and I suggest you start reading/linstening to them even before you get that Mac. If your experience so far is with Windows, you wil have a learning curve to work through because Voiceover does not work exactly like NVDA or JAWS. Hope this helps, and don’t get discouraged.

I hope everyone is doing well so I am new to this group and I am thinking about getting a Mac or Mac mini but I have had no experience with using them. I would like to try to run mac and Windows on the same machine, but I was wondering are there any guides comparing all of the options for doing this and maybe giving step-by-step processes for doing it or any YouTube videos out there that anyone knows about also I am completely blind. Lastly, if anyone has any tips, please let me know. Sent from my iPhone -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
