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

Revert your Mac to a previous macOS version - Apple Support

It is not likely macOS is causing that problem. Besides, even a spontaneous shutdown should never cause work to be lost.


More investigation is needed. Reverting macOS to an earlier version will not help.

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'.
