It was a good match as I'm a newbie with MacOS. I know feel I can do similar things in it like I can in Windows.

As a New user of MacOS Ventura, I found the course instructive. The only negative was the installing Win10 on Mac using the Boot Camp software as this is not available on the Mac Mini are you able to email me on this procedure for MacMini m2 please. at terencepoynton@gmail.com Thanks,

I was disappointed with this course because it was advertised as 'The only course you will need switching over from Windows to Mac. Towards the end of the course I realised 'Pages' was not included, and Pages happens to be the skill II most wanted to learn. I left a comment about it in Q & A, 2 weeks ago. If the tutor had replied to my comment I would have given a 4 star rating. Perhaps I have misunderstood something, but as far as I can see the advertisement is misleading.
