Reinstall Big Sur cost?

I installed Monterey OS on my macbook air m1, and it's comically bad.

I have an appointment at my local Mac service center in Seoul.

Does anyone know if this will cost me anything?

I certainly hope not. I'm at the end of my tether with Apple.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.3

Each service center may set its own fees. Contact them.


An answer depends upon what's wrong with your Mac, which you have chosen not to explain.

Regarding what's wrong with my Mac -


apps no longer open,


apps run far slower,


and constant pop ups telling me Safaribookmarkssyncagent quit unexpectedly, and when I close the pop up it comes back again


and again


and again


and again


and again.


Yet Apple have decided to make it nearly impossible for me to return to an OS that actually worked for me.

Instead they have blamed the app developers.

I don't have time to chase up all the problems Apple has given me.


I've got to go to work: which the new OS has actively made more difficult.


And i've spent three hours talking to Apple about all the problems their new OS has caused.


Everyone involved in this should be ashamed.


If Apple had any decency, they would fix it for free.

You appear to have missed one of the important terms in the software licensing agreement:


You are responsible for it.


Pick your version here:


Legal - Software License Agreements - Apple


One of the important paragraphs:


YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY

APPLICABLE LAW, USE OF THE APPLE SOFTWARE AND ANY SERVICES PERFORMED BY OR

ACCESSED THROUGH THE APPLE SOFTWARE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK AND THAT THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO SATISFACTORY QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, ACCURACY AND EFFORT IS WITH YOU
