21 Simple Ways to Make macOS Feel Like Windows 

Hey friends! I’m sorry if this video didn’t make sense to some of you. It was meant for Windows users who have to use macOS or switch between both, to make their lives easier. I totally get that if you only use macOS (like I do too) this might not have been for you. I’ll be back soon with a video just for us macOS users! Best, Vince 😊

People don’t understand, Windows does certain things better, Mac does certain things better. People buy things so they can use it how they want too. I like both but and I use both daily. MacVince is helping people like me 😭

I love your editing style!

I LITERALLY BOUGHT A STARLIGHT MACBOOK AIR 2 DAYS AGO, SWITCHED FROM 10 YEARS OF WINDOWS. WOW. Thank you MacVince. This video came at the RIGHT TIME. I've been struggling to adapt from Windows to Mac!!!!!

I don't understand the blame. I use Windows and macOS on the same system. This is incredibly useful.

I love your editing! One thing I also love is linear Mouse, to disable mouse acceleration and change scroll directions on a per mouse basis

Thank you for these videos. I am learning how to use Mac and your videos really, REALLY helped me with making life on a Mac easier.

Thank you! I still occasionally struggle with the Mac layout, shortcuts, and settings - almost always when I am rushing to finish a critical deliverable. Your videos really help me tackle, or even better, change, the struggles. Today was one of those days when I would normally never take the time to watch a video when under a time struggle. I know your videos are both brief and so helpful that I will end up getting work done faster.

Great video and legendary edits as always Vince

Awesome. Wish I had this video when I switched to Mac last year

Thanks! I always get something useful from your videos.

Great material as usual. The reverse scrolling app is great IMO because it allows you to fix the direction of side-to-side scrolling on the so-called Magic Mouse.

Definite up levels that bring some cool functionality to the Mac. Great as always!

I’m a relatively new macbook user but have always used a windows desktop; I switch between both daily for uni. your videos are so helpful for me!

This is a great video. I just started using mac a month or so ago and I'm still getting used to it. I also still use windows for gaming. People don't realize how helpful stuff like this are

Thank you so much for Command X and mentioning 4 new awesome Mac apps!

Your Editing os one of the best in the year I've seen I also see some mrwhosetheboss vibes in your videos and congratulations for 100k Subscribers Keep Moving on

Your editing skills, quality content is just insanely top notch!! 👍

Thank you! Extremely useful if you are working on both OS!

Dude your videos are awesome and very helpful for my personal mac and my office windows pc 😅

فيديو مفيد حقًّا، شكرًا لك يا مبدع.

Wow man! You just saved me a lot of angry hours (last month I switched from my windows to an iMac). Still use them both on my office table. Thanks a lot, may God bless you 💪💪💪🇺🇦

This is so useful, I’m always on my windows PC and having a MacBook feels much better now. Thank you🎉

Thanks! I have been a long time windows user, and have recently switched to macOS, and this was very helpful for me! As I was very used to windows

incredible editing skill and useful tricks!

Amazing video as always and I suggest checking the other videos 'bout "windows like" features and apps that are not on this video. One thing that I am really disappointed 'bout is that they got rid of the ability to rename a desktop, now for default they will always come out as "desktop 1, 2, 3, etc" and it was something I used so much before to separate desktops of work and entertainment, not anymore...

thanks for the Command X and Cmd+D shortcut too but i used to change the hot corner setting to show desktop when needed, also good Video edditting....

Awesome editing, informative and very entertaining. Well done.

I’ve been eagerly waiting for your latest video, but it’s been almost a month since you last uploaded. I always look forward to your content-it feels like forever!❤

Great video, incredible job as always!!

Nice video bro! The last app was really useful. Keep them coming!

Love your edits man

Wieder paar coole Tipps dabei, Danke!

it helps a lot .thanks!

Editing for video awesome 💯💯💯💯

Finally a new video 😉! Great as always!

Hi, Great Video! Is there an app that enables me to click on an icon and minimize this app, just like on windows?

As usual, great video

1:07 editing is 🔥

Good to see you again

I think the only reason RU-vid is not letting your channel grow fast is because your English is not native. I have seen this happen some of my other favourite creators. Like iPhonedo. Keep grinding, bro! Your videos are masterpieces!

5:47 just do option+cmd+v to paste files in finder when copied them.

Another awesome video Vince. How do your hands appear outside the QuickTime window? Green screen? Thanks.

There's also this grate app called Sidebar that improves the mac dock like crazy

Great video. Is there any explorer like Finder alternative?

Please make a video on how to make windows look like macos , I guess that would make more sense

Your videos are sehr gut!

sag mal: Um deine Facecam in das Video rein zu integrieren nutzt du ja wahrscheinlich nen Greenscreen. Sprich, du hast da irgendwas auf, was halt grün ist, und mit dem verschieben davon verschiebt sich die Cam. Aber wie genau hast du dafür gesorgt, dass der Screen (sprich dein Bild) dem Greenscreen FOLGT? Ich mein... im Normalfall würde der Greenscreen in diesem Beispiel ja nur als "Schablone" dienen, und nur certain parts vom Video zeigen. Aber in diesem Fall ist deine Kamera ja Stuck auf dem Greenscreen... Wie machst du das? Hast du das grüne Fenster dafür getracked, und es folgt dann dem Tracking? ooooder wie?

Your video production and quality is really good, You should make videos about other Apple products as well

The best tech channel ❤❤

Thank you so much for your suggestions. Can you tell me how to set up a shortcut to center the window on the full screen? Right now, we can move it left, right, up, and down, but we can't center it on full screen, at least with a keyboard shortcut. Please help me.

Another app is Dockmate for window preview in the dock

Superb!

scroll reverser saved me

And set in the system configuration to minimize apps to their respective icon in the dock

it helped a lot, I am teacher, students have window and I have mac when I switch between systems it gets confuse.

make a video about password manager on Mac please

"Amazing Video, I was really looking for an app that could let me preview all the windows." Thanks

Is there anyway to shift maximise / minimise / close button on top right corner(like in windows) ??

Your videos are boss as fuck dude. Killer content, straight to the point. Respect.

which version do you have? On my Sonoma 14.7 I don’t have almost anything you showed

Hi Vince: Ist der Resourcen-Verbrauch von Wins sogar geringer als der von Yabai?

hi, i just bought a macbook air and password sync won’t work for some reason, so i always have to look up the password on my phone and type it in, shouldn’t my macbook know the passwords too? thankful for any help!

wait what, im still turning on my natural scrolling, when im using mouse im still scroll down to go down, im using logitech m650. but when im using trackpad its just as usual scroll down to go up

how did you disable the gap between windows, when snapping windows to a side?

Bro i bought new mac yesterday and davinci is not playing smoothly in it i mean its text titles are lagging its new macbook m2 im a little worried man

Of note; Windows has owned the Windows Snapping since the beginning of time. Only now is Mac able to enable it.

one question. how to your microsoft apps like word and ppt in macbook for free? as they ask to login first.

firstttt 🥳 congrats on 100k Vince

Add chapter markers please

Wow, just goes to show how behind Mac is on certain features

Why doesn’t Apple do alt tab themselves

Hi whats the music at the time 0:32 thx a lot

Do NOT switch from Safari to Chrome. Chrome is the biggest reason people think they need more memory. It’s a huge resource hog. So is Excel/Office but I can’t get rid of that. No reason one program should be hogging 3 gigs of Ram forcing my ssd to perform memory swaps constantly

Btw is it okay to buy m1 pro this year?

Why would I want a beloved Mac to feel like crapy Windows!

0:30 problem not solved, you can fill, but there is no way back as it is in windows 😓

Why the hell would I want to do that, after retiring from the Corporate World I retired Windows and switch to Macs, I couldn’t afford the IT personnel to keep Windows Operating.

Alttab took screenshots randomly of my screen, i removed it

WHO WANTS THAT

Really, who needs this? Love you, Vince, but Mac users don't want to make their systems look like Windows

🔥

Y tho?

hmmm. 😂 transitioning to windows videos now or what 🤨🙃

Why?

Why would you want to do that?

Why would anyone want to do that?

windows just works. you can alt tab and multitask, close apps through clicking X, you don't have to learn silly gestures just to be productive which makes macos stay behind by a distance. you can play games and do whatever you want cause you're not limited to a crappy os like macos. as soon as arm windows laptops work on their battery lives, i'm switching over windows

Great advice. But, without chapters, you're going to lose followers and fail to attract new followers. I strongly recommend to use chapters like the professional RU-vidrs do. Thank you.

.

But why though? 🤣😂

Perqué, why? Why would you do that? That is so cruel!!! 😂

Just click in to say no thanks and leave🎉
