That adapter will definitely work. However, before you buy it, you might want to run Apple Diagnostics: How to use Apple Diagnostics on your Mac - Apple Support. Whatever is causing that problem might be affecting other things also.


If that Mac's Thunderbolt port is working properly, that adapter will certainly work with Internet Recovery.
