Newbie needs help with a capital H!

Question

Aloha! I am brand spanking new to Lightroom CC, have no experience using any photo/editing apps, am not tech savvy but recognize I need to understand some in order to edit photos. I am an amateur photograper and all I want to do is enhance my photos. I've searched the Adobe site and Youtube videos looking for tutorials on very, very, basic "this is how you get started, this is how you import a photo from your Mac photo Library, this is what files are and albums are, how to use them, what editing options are available on Lightroom CC", etc. etc.  Ive not found any pertinent videos, they are either outdated or refer only to Lightroom Classic, not Lightroom CC. Can you point me in the right direction? How does a complete neophyte get started? Thank you my new Lightroom CC friends.

Hey, @monique_4473. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll help you get started.

There are various ways to start learning Lightroom. Lightroom Academy is a must-try: https://adobe.ly/3EzReG9

Lightroom has a whole in-app learning experience that'll help you speed up and get hands-on practice. You can pick a Learning Topic, Tools, Subject Matter, and even expertise Levels.

Additionally, here is the learning page for Lightroom: https://adobe.ly/4gGCana;

Let me know if this helps.
