Mac Os

I think I may have deleted Mac Os. I was formatting my Mac to give it to my husband. When I turn it on now all I get is a folder icon with a question mark. How do I get the operating system back❓

Try booting into Recovery by holding down the cmd-R keys on restart.

If you still have the recovery partition, it should boot into that. If not, it should try Internet Recovery (spinning globe instead of Apple).


If you get into either, use the reinstall macOS option to reinstall.
