macOS releases new versions of its operating systems with a certain frequency and that is why we currently have Ventura with news, improvements, new designs but always in each new edition with the limitation of the equipment models..
Mac computers are generally characterized by their stability, security, and dynamism, but like all hardware and software, they can present failures that put performance at risk and, in many cases, lead to complex errors where the only remedy is to reset the computer. .

Below you will see the entire process that you must follow to know how to reset MacBook, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro to the factory in detail step by step..
