Welcome to the forum! You might want to edit your provide to take out the street address and just say you are from Oklahoma. Lot's of folks out there are skimming sites to get as much personal information as they can, no need to make it easier.

Take a second and say hi so we can welcome you to the Mac-Forums community!
Hi, I be jaylach but feel free to just call me Jay.

I am hardcore Windows (cringe) but purchased a MacBook Air 2017 at a good price to learn a new OS about 6 weeks ago. Upgraded from the original 128GB SSD to a 480GB OWC SSD to be able to have room for running both MacOS Big Sur version 11.6, Windows through Boot Camp and a 200GB shared data partition.
