I deliberately released this video 2 weeks after the official release of macOS Big Sur, as it is better to wait a bit and not update immediately after the release.
There are two reasons for this:
1. Apple servers, as a rule, are overloaded due to the influx of those wishing to be updated one of the first;
2. macOS 11 Big Sur is a really big update to the operating system, so there may be plenty of misunderstandings Apple has yet to sort out. It is not for nothing that so many beta versions came out.
Moreover, at the start there is a lot of software that is not adapted to the new interface. This will be immediately visible even in the application selection menu: the new icons will be the same in shape, the old ones will be completely different.
Chances are good that not particularly new devices will be extremely slow. The new version of the system has plenty of effects and visual elements that can significantly load the system.

And only now, on December 1, the first day of winter (with which I congratulate you all), I can safely recommend the latest version of macOS 11.0.1 for installation to everyone.
And how to install macOS Big Sur in all possible ways, you will learn in my video instructions - all enjoy your viewing =)

Channel about Apple technology and not only ...
Thank you for visiting the channel. This is my first experience of creating a YouTube channel.
I really hope you enjoy it =) and the channel will be useful.

In short: I've heard about Apple technology for a long time, but I bought the first device from this manufacturer only back in 2006. It was a 13.3-inch MacBook in an aluminum case, then the iPhone and away we go ...
Since then, I was filled with love for Apple technology and from year to year it does not subside, but only grows !!!

All videos on my channel are shot exclusively on Apple devices.
