Upgrade to Big Sur leaves me unable to access MacBook Pro, folder with question mark
I have a Macbook Pro, tried to upgrade to Big Sur, ended up with a folder with a flashing ?. Googled online solutions - recommended to reboot pressing Command + Option + R or Command + R. When I do latter, I can get to Disk Utility with OS X Base displayed. But I cannot erase the suggested file as the erase option is greyed out. Other online sources suggested Command + Option + R saying the erase function will no longer be greyed out, but when I do that, after 20 minutes of the spinning globe I get a triangle across the globe with an exclamation mark, and underneath it says apple.com/support -5101F. Photo attached. MacBook is now useless. Is it broken? I did back up before doing this.
