New iMac

[juanruthie]

I just bought my first Apple computer after many years as a PC user.
I currently take classes on line and had to download a test drive
version of Word. I have purchased MacOffice but it says to uninstall
any test drive versions first. How do I do that?

Second, how do I set up a Password protected desktop. That way when
the computer is powered up, no one can have access unless they have
the password.

Thanks,

Use the Remove Office tool in your Test Drive folder. After you've done
that, you should be free to install the full version.

Second, how do I set up a Password protected desktop. That way when
the computer is powered up, no one can have access unless they have
the password.

Open System Preferences, then click on Accounts. In the lower left corner of
the new window, click on Login Options; if it is greyed out, click on the
lock below and enter your password to make it clickable. In the Login
Options, disable "Automatically log in as", and check Display login window
as list of users.

Thanks,

You're welcome. I hope you enjoy using your new Mac.
