I must admit I didn’t know how to right-click for at least a year after having my first MacBook.

If you ask what the absolute minimum any MacBook user must know, I will name two: right click and Spotlight Search. And finally, learn how to use advanced topics, such as Siri and backing up with Time Machine. Then learn how to install new apps without getting a virus on your MacBook. So, how a beginner can learn using MacBook Pro or MacBook Air? If you are switching from PC, you need to learn keyboard shortcuts, Spotlight Search, and Finder. I guarantee, in the end, you will know more than 95% of users who have been using Mac for years. All you need is to read this blog and open each link I have to other posts I wrote. I don’t want you to waste a year, so I assembled an absolute minimum you need to know to use Macs efficiently. It took me almost a year to learn basics.

With my next purchase, MacBook Air, I didn’t have enough space to install Windows, so I had to learn how to use macOS (Apple’s operating system). So, I installed Windows using Bootcamp and used it as a PC. When I bought my first Mac (it was Mac mini), I absolutely hated it.
