My (second) new 16" MacBook Pro just arrived and I thought this would be a good time to show you how I setup a new Mac. In this video I go through some initial settings (FileVault Encryption, Siri Voice Recordings, Storing Files From Documents & Desktop on iCloud Drive, auto dark mode, etc.), the first 4 things I do when MacOS boots up, all the apps I download, the first settings I change and more!
