Here’s a little personalization you can do for your macOS (works for latest macOS Catalina). If your name (nickname or just in case you named your mac something else) did not appear on the menubar, here’s how you can get it display on the right hand corner.

##### Step 1

Click the **Apple** logo, go to **System Preferences**.

##### Step 2

Click **Account** , click the icon at the bottom to unlock so you can change the settings.
