I want to install MacOS on an SSD drive, but not sure whether I have to initialise it before installing MacOS on it.
I have seen advice on this for a hard drive, but am not sure whether it would be the same for an SSD drive and I don't want to mess things up - Maybe someone knows how to do this please
iMac 21.5″, macOS 11.1
Would need to attach it to an Apple Computer by whatever means possible. Once it shows up in Disk Utilities, in left hand panel choose the drive listed as external drive. in tool bar of Disk Utilities choose Erase >> give it a name of your choice >> when asked format >> APFS and just below that is Scheme - GUID Partition Map. Then click Erase.
That is Great for you. Now, enjoy and safe computing.
Thank you for marking the issue as resolved
I have done exactly that, but that’s why I don’t understand why it still shows the hard disk as startup. Have done this a few times - no difference
Thanks will do kind regards Justin
Thank you and that is great news. If time permits and willing to share what magic sauce was used to get things done, am very interested.
How do I prepare a SSD drive before installing MacOS
