Upon booting up, you’ll notice that the Mac’s desktop is laid out differently than the ones found on PCs; it’s remarkably clutter-free. This cleanliness is attributed to the Dock, the bar located at the bottom of the screen, which houses OS X’ applications. At the top of the desktop you’ll find the Menu Bar, a dynamically changing bar that displays the functions and commands available to the currently active program or window (this differs from Window’s individual menu bars for each application). The lone desktop icon is Mac’s hard drive icon, the Apple equivalent of My Computer.
We’ve put together this Mac Switcher’s Guide to help you get used to these small but significant differences. We’ll walk you through the important shortcuts, features, and programs that you’ll need to familiarize yourself with in order to get the most out of your Mac. Here’s to your successful migration.
