I use Windows, and have very little experience of using Macs.

My parents are having an Autumn break in Cornwall next week, and I had an email from my mum tonight:

"Our cottage in Cornwall has wifi, does this mean that I can use my laptop there"

I obviously replied yes, but would appreciate any further instructions that I might explain to her how she should go about it.

I'm guessing that her laptop is 3 or 4 years old, so OS 10? Grateful for any help.

There is a wifi icon at the right of the menu bar. Click on it and it should be obvious what to do next.

As Jack says. But she'll need to know which network to choose, if there's more than one listed, and she'll need to get the password. Likely that would be written down and left in the cottage in an obvious place, if it's a rental.

Thanks, Jack.

Have passed that information on.

Will be back if further difficulties,
