macOS is a versatile operating system that with each new edition that comes out we find improvements and new functions focused on the end user having a secure, versatile and dynamic system, but there are various causes for the system to fail and we can highlight viruses, errors of configuration, internal system failures and many more that no matter how many support tasks we apply, these will continue to have a negative impact on operation, in this case it is possible to resort to the macOS factory restore..
Many times we see that we have some kind of problem in the system that we are not able to solve because sometimes they are quite complex errors to find and repair. For this reason, sometimes we come to the conclusion that it is better to do a factory reset of our MacBook and thus leave it as new by removing everything that may be negatively affecting the equipment and its operation. This restoration will erase all the data and applications installed on our own since it is a complete format, TechnoWikis will explain how to achieve this.
