If you've grown accustomed to Windows PCs,erotice review the move to a Mac can feel discombobulating. While Apple's Macs can process words, edit images, and browse the web just as well as PCs, differences such as the absence of a Windows key may leave new users floundering.

Fortunately, many of Mac's operations are very similar to Windows, including its copy and paste function. It'll only take a little bit of patience and practice until you're just as fluent in Mac as you are in PC.

Step 2: Press Command + C.

Press and hold the Command button at the bottom of your keyboard while also pressing C to copy the text. Alternatively, you can either right click on the highlighted text, or hold down Control and click on it. Doing either will bring up a dropdown menu, from which you can then select Copy.

Step 3: Click where you would like to paste the text to move your cursor there.

Step 4: Press Command + V.

Similarly to copying, press and hold the Command button at the bottom of your keyboard while also pressing V to paste the text. You can also bring up the dropdown menu following the same method as above, and then select Paste. Your chosen text will then be pasted into the new area.

You can also Cut rather than Copy by selecting Cut from the dropdown menu or pressing Command + X instead of C.
