How do I uninstall Catalina

I installed catalina on my mac. I am a single mother doing a phd working three jobs to do so. I scraped money together to buy a mac because I thought it would increasee my productivity. My computeer keeps shutting down and restarteed resulting in me losing my entire thesis proposal.


What can I do. I need to rewrite my entire thesis proposal. I need to uninstall this stupid glitchy software


I will never use Mac again

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

It's not possible to uninstall Catalina but it is possible to erase a disk and then install an older version - you will need your data backed-up beforehand, though, if you don't want to lose personal data.


I'm concerned about the loss of your thesis proposal. What happened? Perhaps I can help you find it again. It might be 'hiding' rather than 'lost'.

I dont feel very heard here. I installed the software. It caused my computer to restart (it is still doing it). I have rewritten my work and put save automat after 1 minute on my thesis document. The computer just retarted again and guess what. I lost all my work again!!!!
