This walk-through covers each step of the set up process and is intended to be used alongside Setup Assistant.
Tip: Some steps may require you to scroll to select an option. If you have a Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad and you’re not sure how to scroll on a Mac, just slide two fingers up and down on your trackpad. If you’d like to adjust gestures later, learn how to do so with Apple ID. If you don’t have an Apple ID, you can create one now (it’s free).
Your Apple ID consists of an email address and a password. It’s the account you use for everything you do with Apple—including using the App Store, Apple TV app, iCloud, and more. Your Apple ID is not the same as the username and password you use to sign into your Mac computer account. To learn more, see When you’re done setting up your iMac for next steps.
