She is 78 and thinks she is more tech savvy than the average person because she can check email, and use twitter and Facebook, and does a regular blog on Wordpress. She has been firmly entrenched (she thinks) in Windows since forever, but in reality she has very little understanding of how or why anything works the way it does, and has a very hard time adapting to change and remembering new ways of doing things.

She's 78 and not only checks her email but maintains a WordPress? She is more tech savvy than anyone else her age. Give gramma some credit here.

Have you considered Apple's Support site?

https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/get-started-with-your-mac-mchl3a2c2cb0/15.0/mac/15.0

https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/switched-from-windows-to-mac-mchlbc684e49/15.0/mac/15.0

There's also https://www.youtube.com/applesupport

Generally, I'd be cautious with what you share for this sort of guidance. The majority of content related to "Using A Mac" is going to be created by people who are already entrenched in the ecosystem. They can sometimes speak over or around the heads of people just getting started.
