Go Here: How to reinstall macOS from macOS Recovery - Apple Support.


You would reinstall the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available. Boot up holding down these four buttons simultaneously: [Shift + Option +  + R]

For Note:


Backing up your Mac:

Are you Concerned of Losing Data?

  • If not, just move ahead and erase the disk and then install the macOS


  • If so, back up your Mac: (using Time Machine)

How to Use Time Machine:

Create a Time Machine backup of your Mac, so that you can have something to restore your Mac from, should anything go wrong with the reinstall.
