Did this a few days ago over the phone with Apple support (no charge). The new OS looks overwhelming. Pages and my printer were installed. Guess I just need to learn a little every day. Patience.

Many thanks Randy. The links you posted will be a big help. I’ll be spending time today learning about Time Machine …it’s so different from the Catalina version.

I just had a look at a couple of these videos, and it made me excited about Sequoia! Now I'm looking forward to using the "mind mapping" features in FreeForm, for one thing.

Another is being able to see the screen of my iPhone on my Mac's screen, and not only use my iPhone applications, but being able to use my Mac's keyboard to type things into my iPhone!
