Flashing folder with ?

I am trying to erase my wife’s old MacBook Pro after I bought her a new one, I followed directions I found and now I get a flashing folder with a question mark. What do I do now?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

What directions were those? It sounds like you erased the disk well enough.


You can reinstall the operating system with Internet Recovery: https://support.apple.com/HT204904
