Use Disk Utility to erase an Intel-based Mac


How to reinstall macOS


  • If the installer asks to unlock your disk, enter the password you use to log in to your Mac.
  • If the installer doesn't see your disk, or it says that it can't install on your computer or volume, you might need to erase your disk first.
  • If the installer offers you the choice between installing on Macintosh HD or Macintosh HD - Data, choose Macintosh H


For best results use a Ethernet Cable to Router
