Apple used to have Apple Paint. I have to ask where is it now? Hello. I know some history of Apple and I know they had their Apple Paint. So briefly I have to ask where is it now? I use MS Paint on PC when I do a screenshot, there I can put multiple screenshot and set the size if it is WQHD I can to it HD. I can't do few screenshots paste it on the same blank page and save it and have it on one .jpg on a Mac but on the Windows I do it within a minute. Here I can't do it all. Can I install Paint on Mac? I am not into virtual machine thing. I want Microsoft Paint but not to have Windows on my Mac as Windows is the reason I purchased Macbook but there are some small things that are better on the other side and I can't sell PC as I still need to use it as Mac does not do all the things PC does. It is better but I have to have both computers and I couldn't sell my malware-software update-booting programs at start device mainly as many times I have to cut few screenshots and post it on blank page and save it to .jpg and have it in one picture rather than few of them. Then I email one thing not few. It is really important. I thought I will quit PC forever but PC has Paint and Mac does not and it had as I watched movie about Steve Jobs and I am an Apple fan. Thank you. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Can I do everything on MacBook that I already do on a windows laptop? This question has been haunted me for a long time. Been a windows laptop user form day one, but other than that I’m in the Apple ecosystem. iPhone 11, Apple Watch series 5 GPS, AirPods Pro. is there any way of using Mac operating system and windows, both on MacBook? I use softwares like autoCAD, Rivet, Asta powerproject, Adobe products on windows and I don’t think them are licensed, from when I bought the laptop outside UK. will I be able to do the same on MacBook? it’s about time I get a new laptop. But windows or Mac that’s the question

You can install Windows on a Mac:

Install Windows 10 on your Mac with Boot Camp Assistant - Apple Support

Or you can use a virtual machine like Parallels.
