On Windows the bitcoin.conf file is located in the %APPDATA%\Bitcoin directory.

To change to a full node try this:

1) Stop the Bitcoin node software.

2) Locate your bitcoin.conf configuration file, typically found in the Bitcoin data directory.

3) Edit the bitcoin.conf file and either remove the prune configuration line or set it to prune=0.

4) Save the changes and restart your Bitcoin node software.

Yeah, location of the file is different but otherwise the same process.

On macOS, the bitcoin.conf file is located in the ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/ directory. You can access it using Finder by clicking on "Go" in the menu bar, then selecting "Go to Folder" and entering ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/.
