    Can anyone help me setup the best El Cap 2016 Macbook 12 possible?

    I've looked around the forums and found some tips, but I would like your help to put together a cool guideline to setup a kinda old computer, with a (now) very old OS. I know, security issues and all, but the reality is that I prefer to keep the highest internet hygiene possible, but not...

    Hey all, so I don't have a need for Windows anymore and sold my main Windows machine in the summer and then my Windows laptop in the fall.
