When you get your new Mac unpacked, just lift the lid to turn it on. Then, let it sit and don't touch it. Voiceover should start on its own after a short period of time. If it doesn't, press Fn + CMD + F5, and VoiceOver will start. - Brad -

I have a new 2022 Macbook Air arriving tomorrow, which I’m very excited about, as I’ve been waiting and saving a long time for it. However, as it’s being delivered to my home it means that I’ve got to try to set it up myself from scratch using Voiceover. I’ve never done this myself before, so I’m really hoping that someone can reply to this message with some truly idiot-proof/step-by-step instructions that I can follow to set it up without making any catastrophic mistakes/crashing the machine before I’ve even got going!! I mean, for a start, how on earth do you even get Voiceover to come on when you first turn on the Mac so that you can set it all up? As you can see, I really do have no idea what I’m doing with this one. So any help/guidance anyone can give from the point of view of someone with no sight doing this really would be very much appreciated and most gratefully received. Thanks so much for any responses.
