I have purchased a MacBook Air early 2014. [br]
the previous owner kept their hard drive for data safety so I bought a OWC 240gb SSD. [br]
the MacBook Air doesn’t recognise the SSD. The box of the SSD and some searching on the net told me I need to update the firmware on the MacBook Air. [br]
I have a 500gb 2.5” SSD from my old broken laptop and so I connected this with an external USB adaptor to the MacBook Air and it booted and worked fine when I booted up and pressed the option key. I could use the computer perfectly. [br]
I then went to the App Store and downloaded OS X Big Sur which states it is compatible for my MacBook Air. It took a few hours to download and install but on the final reboot it stopped working. [br]
ive tried to set up the new SSD but have the same problem as originally. Now the external SSD will not boot up and I can’t get it to show when I press the options button. [br]
my data is not important. I want to set this up as a new MacBook Air. I have a separate time machine back up of my data. [br]
I am happy to start this procedure again and give up the OS and data on my external SSD. [br]
I can run disc utility etc by pressing COMMAND R
thank you in advance
