[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7062216, member: 718"] I have nearly 100,000 photos, videos and scans on my iMac, well nearly 1TB on a 2TB external drive actually, not on the main drive because my old 21" iMac only has a 500GB hard drive for storage. This is backed up to a second external drive using the standard 'TimeMachine' and photos backed up further to Google Photos in the Cloud and all other files to Apple iCloud apart from Office and Adobe Acrobat, which are backed up to their own dedicated clouds. About two thirds of photos and videos on the superb Apple Photos app onto which I have several further editing plug-ins. The rest in a separate 'pictures' folder, which mostly comprise of scans of old family prints. MS Office works exactly as it does for Windows as far as I can see, including Microsoft365 [formerly Office365]. Filing is also very similar and I have no issues with either Windows or Apple filing systems. Must say that I have yet to work with Windows 10 as of yet on my new machine. When I first had my iMac, in 2011, I don't recall any issue with using it compared to using Windows7 but far less bother with virus scanning and constant security updates and so on. Far fewer crashes and reboots also. Plus a whole lot of software comes as standard. [/QUOTE]
