Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

I just did a backup of my computer so that I can re-install Mac Big Sur 11.6.8. Two questions:

#1. How do I know if the back-up is done? #2. Where and how do go to re-install Big Sur 11.6.8?

On my MacBook Pro 15 inch?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.6
