![How to Erase and Factory Reset your MacBook/iMac in 2024 [Easy Tutorial] (Apple Silicon) M1/M2 Chip](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ABfGOYUaPXA/mqdefault.jpg)
This was by far the most clearly done instructional video on resetting a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air M1. The step-by-step process was so easy to follow, everything went just fine!
The most straightforward, clear and easy to follow video on something that is quite complex to many people. Thank you very much, your awesome!
Thank you for being so clear and detailed. I've only had mine for 1 day and decided I needed a bigger screen. Now I feel comfortable returning it. I appreciated this video.
Aaron, thanks much! Sold my Mac last nite, and tried the "old way" unsuccessfully to reset first, then searched out your clear step-by-step method for the M1. Two thumbs up!
THANK YOU. I donât know why it was so hard to find straightforward instructions.
Straight to the point, no time waste. Good job sir!!
OMG finally you were the only one who could get me here - 1 hour with MAC online finally made genius appointment and found this
Thank you for making this. Your information is accurate and well-explained. A lot of other content creators seem to offer incorrect methods for doing things, and I wanted to comment and say thank you for doing a great job. I've subscribed. Please keep it up!
So clear and easy to follow - thanks so much Aaron!
This was an amazing clear video and just what we needed. Thanks.
Amazing video! Concise, informative and helpful! Thanks Aaron đ
Here is how to properly reset a MacBook that has Apple Silicon. Hopefully itâs helpful and thank you for watching.
Ok
I returned my M1 before watching this. I only went through the formatting part, and reinstalled Big Sur. I'm a Windows user, and so I assumed going through the factory reset was enough. Do you think my information is still on the Mac?
@@jiqoynicholas1280 If you formatted it, it shouldn't be there, but it will still be associated with your account
@@rutvikgulavani8973 I think you have to restart your Mac and try it again
@@rutvikgulavani8973 oh, dude, its terrible. Good luck
Will be getting the MBA this month. Super Excited !!!!
Thank you for making a clear video with direct instructions. Very helpful!
