[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1807292, member: 396914"] I'm going to assume that your .doc files are from a relatively recent version of Word, and not from back in the '80s and '90s. That said, you can either get Office for the Mac, or import them into Pages, the free word processor that comes with the Mac. If the documents are simple, they should import pretty well, but if there are complex formatting, embedded riles, etc, then the change to Pages can be a bit more challenging. The jpeg and raw files should copy over pretty easily as they are a standard format. As for connecting to the network, the Mac is much more easy to get into the network than any Windows system I've ever used. Just power it up, turn on Wifi and it will find your wireless router and offer to join. You give the password for the network and you are done. From that point on, the Mac will connect each time it's powered on. You can also migrate your personal files from the Windows system, assuming it's relatively new and also not from the '80s. Here is Apple's article on how to do that: [url]https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204087[/url] [/QUOTE]
