How to change default "Open with:" settings on a Mac

 I I got this answer from here

==========================================

Choose a file that has the same extension as the other files that you extensively use and right click on it. Example: .mov extension (video)

  • Select “Get Info” from the list shown in the pop-upget info
  • Choose Open With and expand the drop down to choose an app
    open with
  • Select Change All… option under Use this application label box
  • Finally a pop-up asking “Are you sure you want to change all similar files to open with the application” comes up, select continue to save the settings
    are you sure
  • Now the next time you open a file, it is opened using the default application of your choice

 ===========

Simple but it required me multiple searches to find the right answer.
