Suggestions on the main improvements

My son runs a fairly large company using mainly Apple, my daughter in law (a director in the company) recently bought a Mac Pro Laptop, it really is a thing of beauty & extremely powerful, rather expensive but very nice though! We have a Mac air the rest in the home are Windows bar for iPads/iPhones, my son shudders when I mention Microsoft Windows, despite them using Microsoft 365, now both my daughters both now use Apple laptops & iPhones/iPads, so it does seem to me things are moving towards Apple at least in my extended family :):)

I first started off running Windows 95 I believe in the 90's. My wife bought a used computer from the Thrift store.🤣 Then we replaced it with another new Windows computer. We bought several other Windows computers later. I decided to buy a 27 inch iMac 10 years ago and still have it. The iMac runs smooth but it's out of date to run the new OS. I had a choice of buying a new Windows or new Apple computer. I went with the Mac Mini. I feel Mac's are so much easier to do things with. All of our Windows computers are disassembled and HD's taken out. As of December 2025 I am Microsoft Free! :)
