I received my new Mac Book Air today. I migrated my data from my 2012 iMac. Everything transferred properly but now I can't load apps on to my home page. They go to Launch Pad. How do I get my Mac Book back to being a Mac Book and not an iMac? Thanks for your help.

If you want an app to display on the Desktop (the term that Apple uses for the main screen on your Mac), go to Finder and use the Finder "Go" menu to open the Application folder. You can drag apps from the Application folder (or to the Dock).

They will still be in the Application folder and in the LaunchPad.
