On a Mac, simply hit the space bar when a file is selected, and hey presto, Quick View does what it says on the tin. Many Mac users find Quick View a time saver when working with media files. Some Mac OS creature comforts don't exist in Windows 10 such as Quick View. By watching some basic how to tutorials you will at least familiarise yourself with the layout and basic functionality of Windows 10. It makes good sense to put some research into Windows, especially if you have not used it in several years.
Research The Basics Of Windows 10 And How It Differs From Mac OS By putting the time and effort in now, I have given my confidence a boost and peace of mind that I shouldn't end up delaying any video projects due to not being completely clued up with the software. It's available for Mac and Windows which enabled me to spend a couple of afternoons to get to grips with its workflow. I've selected Davinci Resolve 16 as my new video editor. This should help to reduce the overall learning curve you will face when getting your head around using Windows. If you know you need to be up and running quickly when your new Windows machine arrives then it makes good sense to make the application switch as early as you can on your current Machine. If you frequently cut and edit videos using Final Cut X on your outgoing Mac you will need to find an alternative editor for Windows such as Adobe Premier or Davinci Resolve. Moving from Mac OS to Windows may mean you need to sacrifice an application or two which Windows will not support, such as Final Cut X. By putting the work in early you could well save a bunch of time on the other side.
When writing your software installer list make simple notes about the methods you will need to follow when installing and authorising applications and plug-ins on your new Windows computer. Others, such as Waves will need licences moved via the cloud or a USB drive. This enables users to deactivate licences from any machine remotely. Some are very simple for migrating licences such as Toontrack’s Product Manger.
However, many audio software developers use unique product management systems which can be a chore to use. If you use a physical iLok for the majority of your licences and activations a simple swap over of the dongle is easy enough to get your plug-ins working. If like me, you have a huge plug-in library, migrating to a new machine, regardless of it being Mac to Windows, can be frustrating when trying to manage hundreds of plug-ins from different developers. While you assess and download all the Windows installers you need for your studio it's worth making notes about their activations.
