Model name missing in "About This Mac" after formatting and reverting to original OS
I have a 2012 Mac mini Server that was on it's last leg running the latest version of macOS that it would allow, so I decided to replace it with an M2 Mac Mini.
Then I went to restore the the 2012 Mac mini. I reinstalled Mountain Lion (10.8), which it shipped with. Then upgraded to Yosemite (10.10) and for testing, also installed El Capitan (10.11) on a second partition.
For both OS's, it's not showing the model name when I look at "About This Mac", and it's just bugging in.
The machine is pretty much the same as when I bought it in 2013, but I've swapped out the 5400rpm internal drive with a Crucial SSD.
Any idea why the model name (2012 Mac mini Server) won't show?
