Firstly, in today’s world, ‘technology’ has become the most important factor and a basic need. Mac and Windows are the two most popular operating systems used by people today. Macs belong to Apple and can be found only in Apple Products. whereas Windows belongs to Microsoft company and can be used on any computer. The window was created in 1983 and Mac was in 1984. The new version of Windows is window 10 and for Mac latest version is macOS 11. Mac is more expensive compared to Windows. There are many benefits of using Mac OS because it comes with an automatic security system installed in the system which can help to solve minor issues with the computer just by installing the system whereas In Windows you must get the security system by yourself and need a proper process to solve every issue with the computer.
Mac OS is mostly used for graphic or multimedia purposes. If you must boot the Mac OS, it can be done within a short time frame about an hour. In windows, it can take more than a day to reboot the system. Windows are targeted more by viruses and malware because of a huge number of window users which gives an opportunity to create software to the hacker to attack the window whereas in Mas OS the users are limited, and Mac are prepared in a way that comes with an already installed related app and does not let the access of third-party applications to access the system. However, Windows at the same time runs many third-party applications and in windows, many junk mails keep on popping up which gives access to many unauthorized users. The security system is stronger in the Mac and highly protected.
Windows do come in preference for those people most in business, offices, and gamers because it gives access to more options and advantages. They are not limited and can access anything they want. Talking about the helpline if you are having issues with your Mac OS computer you can call directly to the Apple store and ask for any kind of help you liked to get. They will assist you with any help you need. At the same time if you will need any help with your Window computer you need to call or visit different departments depending on the problem you are facing for example if you have issues with the software you need to contact Microsoft whereas if you have any issues with your hardware you need to contact the company who have designed and created the system.
