Hi, I’m not aware of any accessibility changes with the M1 vs Intel MacBook Airs. There are some changes in the way you access the recovery system, which have actually made it more accessible, but no downfalls as far as I am aware. As Les mentioned, BootCamp is no longer supported in the M1

Hi Andrew, I can answer your second question. Boot Camp no longer exists and the max with the M1 chip. As far as I know, running windows at this point would be very difficult to accomplish. That could change in the future, but right now, it’s my understanding that you really cannot do it.

Hi, I’m confused. There is a Mini Display port that doubles as a Thunderbolt port on the right side of the 2017 MacBook Air, so there should be no adaptor required. On the right side of this model of MacBook Air, there is the SD Card slot, a third USB A port and the Mini Display/Thunderbolt

This is probably easier done with copy/paste in the finder. Generally, the "mv" command does not work accross partitions, though it is possible that it has been extended to do that. If you want to copy the files then use cp -R source destination You might want to add the "force" option which

It depends if you want to duplicate the entire drive or just some folders. The first can be done with one command, the second requires one or more commands depending on their location and number of folders. It is easily done in either case; I have done it many times. Use the cp copy
