Q: how do I make and organize document folders in os x El Capitan?
I am a newbie switching from Windows 7, and I prefer to organize my documents into folders rather than just store on the desktop or just haphazardly in "Documents". How do I make document folders and subfolders in OS X El Capitan and then store my documents in the appropriate folders? Thank you.

First, enter the Documents folder since this is the main location for documents of all kinds. For each empty folder you wish to make press COMMND-SHIFT-N. This will create an empty folder named "untitled folder." The next one will be "untitled folder 2," etc. You can then rename each folder as you use it.
The following should help in adapting to the Mac.
