Top 10 tweaks for a new Mac
There are many System Preferences settings that can make your Mac easier to use. Here are our favourites
Getting a new Mac up and running requires little more than signing in to iCloud and choosing a few basic options. However, we often spend a whole day setting it up, installing apps and customising the settings. Whether you have just bought a new Mac, or freshly installed macOS, here are some of the most useful and important settings that you can customise before you properly start usng your Mac.
Most of the settings are in System Preferences, but some are elsewhere, such as in Finder. Many are visual settings, some are security-related, and a few change how macOS works. These are our preferences and yours may be different, but hopefully they will inspire you to customise your new Mac or fresh macOS installation.
