hello and welcome to Ricky's tech talk in this basic how-to video I'm
going to show you how to set up your brand new MacBook pro so let's begin
as soon as you lift the lid for the first time you'll hear the famous apple chime and it will
load into the setup process once you've loaded up it will then welcome you in a range of different
languages starting with hello all you need to do is use your force trackpad to press get started
and then you'll move on to the next section just a side note here you can use apple's own
voiceover to help through the setup process to use English as the main language press the return key
the next step is asking you to choose your the region we're going to select united kingdom
the next step shows a wide range of accessibility settings that apple has implemented which is
really nice to see so we've got vision options you have motion options you have hearing options and
you have cognitive options to choose from and I'm just going through these showing them now
so it talks about the keyboard you can also zoom in as well if you're visually impaired
you can use the voiceover you can change the way the screen looks like you can have subtitles and also
you can change the way you use your MacBook pro and you can even talk to it if you need
to and then finally, you can actually choose if Do you want a light theme a dark theme or a change
depending on the time so it's really nice to see all these settings here so let's continue the next
step then asks you to choose your wi-fi connection and connect your internet at home so make sure you
know your password and enter your password here and then you can move on to the next step then
we move on to the data and privacy agreements from apple which you need to agree to to use
their services and of course use the MacBook pro you use this next step to migrate from either
a windows pc or laptop or even from a previous mac so you can either use your iCloud backup
you can use a time machine backup and then finally you can actually choose not to do anything and
set up as a brand new MacBook which i'm going to do today this next step will ask you to sign in
with your apple id so you need an apple id to use all of the apple services such as great facetime apps
to use messages to use the app store to use the iTunes Store to buy mac apps if you need to so if
you don't have an apple id you can create your own there's a simple process just by clicking create
apple id and it'll show you how to do that also in this stage, you can choose to use two separate
accounts for different services from apple as well so it's up to you what you choose here
and then of course you have apple's terms and agreements which you have to agree to
to use all of their services after you have agreed to apple's terms and conditions, you are then asked
to create an account for your MacBook pro so just put in your name put in a password if you choose
a password really recommend using quite a strong password and also there is a box here that allows
you to put a hint in for your password so you don't have to write it down on a scrap of paper
next, you have the ability to link your MacBook pro to find my application that may be linked to
your iPhone or iPad or you can now even create your own find my account if this is your first
apple product so find I identifies where your product is and if becomes lost or stolen you can
lock it down remotely this next section is called make this your new mac and this is where it talks
about app analytics, it talks about location services device analytics Siri screen time
and what you can do is go through and select which ones you want to use
what they're about and how they work for you or you could even turn them off if you wish to
then we move on to touch id so touch id is built into the power button for your MacBook pro
and touch id can be used to unlock your MacBook pro once a finger or multiple fingers have been
registered it can be used for buying applications or even buying online if you're shopping on your
favourite store and they have apple pay what you do are you register your fingerprint as I'm showing on
the screen now by just placing your finger up and down and it registers a fingerprint but uses apple pay
as well you'll need to link the cards which comes up in the next section and you can link your bank
card if you choose to as I've just mentioned this is the section now where you register your bank
a card so they may come from your iPhone or iPad if you've already had them registered or you can
register a new bank card to use apple pay that's for the mac app store and also to use online
finally, the setup process has been completed you may get some pop-up windows just asking for
permission about locations or to use certain applications such as calendar or weather
but then you are greeted with your new the home screen here for your MacBook pro
and you get to use the mac or Monterey which is the latest version of mac os compares maybe
to windows 11 or windows 10 if you're moving from windows but don't worry we'll talk about this more
