Hi, switched from Windows after 11 years!

[DreamNshadow]

Hey everyone, just got my Macbook Pro today. I'm transfering files right now and pretty much will spend the day learning this new great OS! Been using Windows since 10 years old, I'm 21 now.:headphone

Just wanted to say hi!!!

 

[Stretch]

Welcome, and congrats on the MBP.

If you ahve any questions look around, or ask.

 

[MacHeadCase]

Hi from me as well! Welcome here, DreamNshadow and welcome to the Mac! :girl:

 

[Frankie Angels]

Congratulations from a fellow switcher. You won't regret it

 

[Lisa]

[mac57]

Welcome DreamNshadow!!! You are going like living "the Mac way"! SO much better than Windows.

 

[Carol247]

Welcome to the fold, young one.
Don't lose your Windoze skills...being 'bilingual' comes in handy.

Welcome.

So let me get this straight. Is it really true that to uninstall a program, I just delete it? There are no other traces of it around the OS??

In some cases, yes, you can just delete it. Some programs come with an uninstaller-type program that will remove all traces. If you're really paranoid about traces being left (even those that don't take up a lot of space), I highly recommend AppZapper which while not a freebie, works very well.

Congrats and welcome to a very friendly forum. Be sure to try the Search feature, there's a wealth of knowledge out there. We have a lot of switchers here and chances are that if you have a question, someone else has probably asked it.

or u can spotlight the name of the app, and delete every item listed.

Hey we both started using windows around the same time. Except I'm 32! I don't know why but it just creeped me out knowing a 10 year old was mastering windows at the same time. At least I have three years of mac experience on you. So Naaa!:dummy:

 

[Bloodborne]

Congrats on your decision! I'm a recent switcher myself and I haven't looked back. Be sure to keep stopping by.

 

[Dillinger-63]

And another switcher welcomes you. Enjoy that new MBP!

 

[hoodRICH]

lol I don't think I was intentionally mastering windows (3.1) when I was 10, I just thought it was cool to learn Windows while playing my games like Doom.
My parents were ****** when they saw me opening up my first PC though.

Thanks for the welcome everyone! Sorry for not using search on the uninstall topic, I think I was more amazed realizing it than asking a question about it.:headphone
