    Great video, tks! But, does it automatically recognize the internet connection? Does it try to connect to the last network before shutdown as it normally do when we power it on?

    Many thanks to you all at Techable. After several missed attempts to install macOS, guided by other video channels and the manufacturers website, I was very near the point of throwing in the towel. You all were a tremendous help.

    I tried to reset my MacBook Pro back to factory as I was planning on giving it to my granddaughter but in the middle of doing so it basically loaded about 3/4 of one of the loading bars and then it shut down I waited for 10 or 15 minutes and it did never come back on or start again so I’ve tried multiple things asking people that own a MacBook Pro and watching CZcams and talking to people and pretty much everybody was telling me I need a new hard drive because it wouldn’t let you do anything with this one until I seen this video and I was like what the heck i’ll go ahead and try it, I could not believe how simple it was and it fixed the problem so I just wanted to say thanks you are awesome but a lot of these videos don’t do anything and might even make it worse but I highly recommend this guy because he definitely knows what he’s talking about now my MacBook is up and running faster than ever thumbs up A+++ and thank you so much for Sharing your knowledge :-)
