Irritating Windows 10

When using PC in business, Windows10 is often required. It can also be replaced to some extent on Mac, but sometimes Windows10 is required to use some applications and services. For this purpose, Windows 10 computers are sometimes bought, and many Mac users can hardly use hard-to-get computers. Why on earth is this?

Moving back and forth between Windows and Mac is something of a habit, and there's always a way. However, beyond the level of habit, there are insurmountable walls. Can not stand the repeated occurrence of this irritable feelings, the purchase of the original use of the Windows10, soon no longer use.

The biggest problem is shortcut keys.

Windows is Ctrl,Mac is a shortcut key, Mac is a shortcut key. And the shortcuts assigned to the two keys are very similar. Press "Ctrl" in Windows and "Shun" on Mac to use shortcut keys, which can be very similar. This is a lucky place.

But the key is different. In Windows, the "Win" key is located in the "Xi" position in Mac. When you work in the same way as your hands on Mac on Windows, you press "Win", which is a completely different shortcut.

For example, in Mac's Web browser, "Shun" + "L" is often the shortcut key to shift focus to the address bar of the Web browser. Its function is assigned to "Ctrl" + "L" in Windows. However, if you press this with the feeling of your Mac finger, you will press "Win" + "L" in Windows. In Windows, "Win" + "L" is the shortcut key to lock the computer screen.

In other words, in the operation of Windows, the focus shift of the address bar of the Web browser attempts to press "Shun" + "L". In fact, "Win" + "L" is pressed and the screen is locked. When the Web browser wants to move on to the next action, there is no feeling of irritability when the screen is locked.

If you work in Windows for a period of time, the head and hands will change to "Ctrl", where shortcuts based on the "Ctrl" key can be used. So, when you go back to Mac, it works like the "Ctrl" key brain, so you can't use Mac shortcuts this time. You need to work for a while and pull it back to the "í brain".

Although many attempts have been made, it is quite difficult to switch between "Ctrl brain" and "í brain" automatically. The shortcut key is not so much thinking with the head as learning the body to hit automatically. Even if the operating system is changed, the hands will make the "shape" of the keyboard shortcuts they are used to anyway. This wall cannot be easily crossed.

Have a good relationship with Windows 10

However, the situation cannot be said like that.

Because Apple announced that it would change its processor from Intel to Apple M1. So far, if you want to use Windows10 in a Mac virtual environment, the previous shortcut key problem has been resolved to some extent. Because the virtual environment replaces the key. In short, so far, I can use Windows10 in a virtual environment with the feel of Mac.

However, the situation in the future cannot be said in this way. Apple changed the processor of the Mac from Intel to M1. From now on, Mac, iPhone and iPad will all be the same M1 processors. Moreover, the virtual environment used on Mac so far cannot be used in M1Mac (see "VMware" status M1Mac does not support Intel version of Win), what about the virtual environment? ") This is a shocking release for users who think that Windows10 can be used in a virtual environment even under the M1 processor. I can no longer smoke the sweet juice of the imaginary environment.

In that case, you need to bring the computer carried by Windows10. If Apple does not use Intel processors, you will also want a computer with Windows 10 in order to run an operating system that uses Intel processors in a virtual environment. In the future, we must have a good relationship with the computers carried by Windows10.

However, it is difficult for "Ctrl brain" and "í brain" to coexist or switch.

As a result of various repeated experiments, in order to achieve the coexistence of Windows10 and Mac, the shortcut mouse touch pad action of "close to Windows" or "close to Mac" is realistic. By getting close to the environment in which you are mainly used, you can avoid that "irritable" time.

This article is aimed at Mac users and introduces how to bring the newly purchased Windows10 computer "close to Mac". People who are free to switch between "Ctrl brain" and "í brain" do not need to explain this report. It would be nice if I could use local operations skillfully in this way. If you are struggling to switch between "Ctrl brain" and "í brain", please refer to the settings in this article for trial and error.

In addition, if you are using a newly purchased Windows10 computer, before you start your homework, please refer to "the first thing you want to do after buying Windows10 with PC [basic]" and so on.
