MacBook profiles & Apple ID
I want to keep work & personal information completely separate though I use only one MacBook for both. I currently have two profiles, can I set up my work profile using a new Apple ID?

Yes, you can set up your work profile on your MacBook using a different Apple ID. Here's how you can do it:
- Go to "System Preferences" from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your screen.
- Click on "Users & Groups" and select the "+" button at the bottom of the user list to create a new user profile.
- Follow the prompts to create the new user profile, including selecting a username and password.
- When you get to the "Apple ID" section of the setup, you can use a different Apple ID for your work profile than the one you use for your personal profile.
- Once the new profile is created, you can switch between profiles by logging out of one and logging into the other.
Note that some apps or software may need to be installed on both profiles if you want to use them on both accounts. Additionally, some apps may require separate licenses for each user account.
