I installed cloudready on a mid 2011 mac mini that was super sluggish. After installation, everything was great. It was speedy and worked well. Then I realized that I cannot run photoshop on a "chromebook." Since I can't do this, I really want to uninstall cloudready on this mac mini and reinstall Sierra, but I can't figure out how to do it and can't find any information online.
Can someone please help me? I'm feeling hopeless...
If the Sierra Recovery Partition is still installed, boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart). Run Disk Utility/First Aid. Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase. Use Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Quit Disk Utility, then re-install the OS.
If necessary, try booting into Internet Recovery (command - option/alt - R on a restart). It is a slow process. This will install the newest OS that the computer is compatible with. Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Quit Disk Utility. Then install the OS. When the computer restarts, you can use Setup Assistant to restore your data from Time Machine.
