I bought a 16 inch MacBook Pro.

I just bought a 16 inch MacBook Pro without the box and accessories.

And I hope to know how to guarantee my rights and that I am not defrauded, and whether the device is original or counterfeit.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.6

2019 Laptop purchased from relative of deceased owner, T2 chip locks me out, how do I proceed with Apple Until after I purchased the computer I was not made aware that the seller was the brother of the deceased owner. T2 chip locks me out of obtaining Administrative privileges. I was an Apple VAR for 10 years and I own several Macs including the same model I purchased mentioned above a 2019 MacBook Pro with 8 Terabyte Storage and 64 gigs of ram. I'm aware I need a death certificate, this computer was gifted to the now deceased owner by the Make a Wish Foundation and a portion of my purchase from his brother was donated to the Make a Wish Foundation. I went to the local Apple Store in my city and I was told that once Apple verifies the authenticity of the ownership they will modify the t2 chip for me free of cost. Besides the death certificate what else if anything do I need and who do I contact to start the process once I have whatever Apple requests. Or who can I contact at Apple to explain the situation to and find out what is required to change ownership to me.

You might want to check the Serial number of your Mac. Go to Apple (button on menu bar) > about my Mac. You will see a bunch of words on the bottom

which is the serial number.

it should have 11 characters and random
