Be careful about jumping ship if you’re looking for long-term support. Appears MS will have supported Windows 10 in excess of 10 years by the October 2025 date. In contrast, Apple supports its OS’s (macOS, iOS, iPadOS) only for the current annual release version plus the two prior annual releases. Thus, about 3 years; e.g., macOS 15 current, macOS 13 and 14 supported, macOS 12 not supported. As for devices, Apple generally supports devices for about 5 years. After that, you can’t load the latest OS without a hack.

As for learning Mac, shouldn’t be an issue. I’ve used Mac and Windows for 3+ decades and find that, for everyday home use, the two OS’s are more alike than different.
