00:00:00,666 --> 00:00:05,633

Hello everyone, in this lesson we will continue to look at the Apple computer installation system

2

00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,300

Let's first look at how to install the system

3

00:00:10,066 --> 00:00:13,466

There are three ways to install the system on Apple computers,

4

00:00:13,666 --> 00:00:18,600

U disk installation, network recovery and disk pair copy or disk recovery

5

00:00:20,733 --> 00:00:23,400

All three methods have advantages and disadvantages

6

00:00:23,733 --> 00:00:26,100

The first is the U disk installation

7

00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:31,166

Its advantage is that it is more convenient to install and the speed is faster.

8

00:00:32,533 --> 00:00:35,433

But the disadvantage is also obvious,

9

00:00:35,933 --> 00:00:42,066

that is, the machines after 2018 cannot use the U disk to install in many cases.

10

00:00:42,966 --> 00:00:50,233

So for machines after 2018, we use more of the second method, which is network recovery

11

00:00:52,300 --> 00:00:57,000

The advantage of network recovery is that it is extremely versatile

12

00:00:57,900 --> 00:01:08,100

Whether it's the newest computer or the oldest, use Network Recovery to install the proper Mac OS

13

00:01:09,166 --> 00:01:13,866

And there is no need for a U disk, just need to be able to connect to the Internet

14

00:01:14,266 --> 00:01:17,100

Of course there are advantages and disadvantages

15

00:01:17,700 --> 00:01:23,266

The disadvantage of network recovery is that the requirements for the network are particularly high,

16

00:01:23,866 --> 00:01:28,400

and the time is relatively long, usually about an hour

17

00:01:28,866 --> 00:01:35,800

During this process, the installation may fail due to network fluctuations or Apple server problems.

18

00:01:38,533 --> 00:01:42,733

After the installation fails, you have to start all over again

19

00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,166

So network recovery is the longest time consuming

20

00:01:49,733 --> 00:01:54,733

The third method is disk-to-copy, or called disk recovery

21

00:01:55,100 --> 00:02:00,466

It is the fastest and most convenient installation method

22

00:02:00,566 --> 00:02:04,366

And it can also install some commonly used software

23

00:02:04,866 --> 00:02:09,933

Because it just takes a hard disk with the system installed and directly copies it

24

00:02:10,266 --> 00:02:14,733

But it also has disadvantages, and its disadvantages are the same as U disk installation

25

00:02:14,900 --> 00:02:21,700

And it will take up a U disk with a relatively large capacity, or prepare an Apple computer

26

00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,666

Therefore, only some places with relatively large quantities or specialized in Apple computers

27

00:02:28,233 --> 00:02:30,400

will use the method of disk copy

28

00:02:31,133 --> 00:02:36,533

Under normal circumstances, we use the most usb disk installation and network recovery

29

00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,066

Next we look at network recovery

30

00:02:40,733 --> 00:02:45,266

The tools to be prepared for network recovery are relatively simple.

31

00:02:45,533 --> 00:02:52,500

You only need an Apple computer with the system to be installed and a stable network environment.

32

00:02:53,300 --> 00:02:56,733

Its operation process is actually not difficult

33

00:02:57,266 --> 00:03:03,666

First enter recovery mode, that is, press Command+R

34

00:03:04,333 --> 00:03:09,033

Once in recovery mode, click Disk Utility

35

00:03:09,366 --> 00:03:13,133

It will pop up an interface like this

36

00:03:13,666 --> 00:03:19,666

We select the disk to install the system, and then click Erase to clear its data

37

00:03:19,766 --> 00:03:25,800

Then quit Disk Utility and choose to reinstall Mac OS

38

00:03:26,466 --> 00:03:30,133

Follow the prompts to complete the system installation

39

00:03:31,066 --> 00:03:34,466

Next, let's put it into practice

40

00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:42,366

First make sure the computer is turned off, press Command+R

41

00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:48,400

Then press the power button and hold Command+R until the screen turns on

42

00:03:49,900 --> 00:03:52,300

Now the screen is on

43

00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:54,300

And it's already started to enter the progress bar

44

00:03:54,300 --> 00:03:56,933

At this time, we can let go of our hands

45

00:03:57,533 --> 00:04:04,833

Wait for a while, after the progress bar is finished, it will enter the recovery mode

46

00:04:05,366 --> 00:04:08,033

Fast forward a little

47

00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,200

Then it will enter the recovery interface

48

00:04:12,700 --> 00:04:16,400

There are four tools in this interface

49

00:04:16,733 --> 00:04:20,966

The first is to restore from a time machine backup

50

00:04:21,166 --> 00:04:24,333

The second is to reinstall mac os

51

00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,466

The third is to get online help

52

00:04:28,533 --> 00:04:31,000

The fourth is Disk Utility

53

00:04:31,733 --> 00:04:37,366

We're going to use the second and fourth tool

54

00:04:38,733 --> 00:04:43,400

According to the installation process, first use Disk Utility

55

00:04:43,466 --> 00:04:50,100

After erasing the disk, use Reinstall Mac OS to install the system

56

00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:55,533

But in fact, some computers can be installed directly without wiping the disk.

57

00:04:55,700 --> 00:04:56,900

Let's try

58

00:04:57,133 --> 00:05:01,866

Click directly to reinstall Mac OS, click Continue

59

00:05:03,300 --> 00:05:09,200

It pops up a message that could not get in touch with the recovery server

60

00:05:09,300 --> 00:05:11,000

This means there is no internet connection

61

00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,500

Let's go online and try again

62

00:05:14,666 --> 00:05:17,666

Now connected to the network, let's try again

63

00:05:17,866 --> 00:05:19,166

Click to continue

64

00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,600

It will freeze

65

00:05:21,766 --> 00:05:25,333

That's because the computer needs to be online to verify something

66

00:05:25,566 --> 00:05:27,666

After the verification is complete, it will pass

67

00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,433

After that, it will appear an installed license terms

68

00:05:33,033 --> 00:05:34,900

Click to agree

69

00:05:36,933 --> 00:05:41,033

Next, you will enter the interface for selecting the disk.

70

00:05:41,266 --> 00:05:44,100

After selecting the disk, click Continue

71

00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,166

The computer will automatically start the process of installing the system

72

00:05:47,933 --> 00:05:52,166

Through observation, we can find that there is currently only one disk

73

00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,600

That's because the computer only has one hard drive.

74

00:05:56,466 --> 00:06:00,800

This disk has not yet been formatted

75

00:06:01,533 --> 00:06:07,166

Then we can know that this computer can also install the system without formatting the disk.

76

00:06:07,866 --> 00:06:14,333

In fact, most computers can install the system without formatting the disk.

77

00:06:15,066 --> 00:06:20,066

That is, you can install the system directly without erasing the disk.

78

00:06:20,300 --> 00:06:27,333

However, if the disk is not erased, there may be a small probability of various error reports during the installation

79

00:06:28,166 --> 00:06:33,933

So I still recommend that you erase the disk first and then install the system

80

00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:41,966

We quit the installation of Mac OS, click Disk Utility, and enter the interface of Disk Utility

81

00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:48,366

Click Display in the upper left corner, click Show All Devices

82

00:06:48,666 --> 00:06:53,566

This will show not just volumes, but devices

83

00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:00,966

We directly select the built-in hard disk of the computer, click Erase in the middle of the top

84

00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,733

At this time it will pop up a pop-up window, there are three options for us to choose

85

00:07:06,100 --> 00:07:11,366

We can name it casually, such as Mac

86

00:07:11,933 --> 00:07:16,133

Then the format and scheme below, don't move casually

87

00:07:16,300 --> 00:07:20,366

Format is always Mac OS Extended Journaled

88

00:07:20,566 --> 00:07:24,200

Scheme always choose GUID partition map

89

00:07:24,766 --> 00:07:27,400

After selecting these, click Erase

90

00:07:27,633 --> 00:07:29,700

it will start the process of erasing

91

00:07:29,933 --> 00:07:34,300

After the progress bar is finished, the disk will be erased

92

00:07:35,033 --> 00:07:41,133

Then we click Reinstall Mac OS above to start the real installation process

93

00:07:43,166 --> 00:07:45,400

The method of operation is the same as before

94

00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,666

Here we skip directly

95

00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,600

When the step proceeds to the disk selection interface, we select the disk

96

00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,600

After clicking Install, a progress bar will start

97

00:07:57,166 --> 00:08:01,000

After the progress bar is finished, the computer will automatically restart.

98

00:08:01,166 --> 00:08:04,600

Then there are one or two progress bars

99

00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:13,000

The time to enter the progress bar may last for half an hour to two hours depending on the network and environment

100

00:08:13,133 --> 00:08:15,700

Let's just fast forward here

101

00:08:23,366 --> 00:08:27,400

When the progress bar is finished, we will come to an interface like this

102

00:08:27,666 --> 00:08:30,500

It is the system settings interface

103

00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:35,333

We only need to make some settings to complete the system installation

104

00:08:35,500 --> 00:08:42,200

These settings are generally not particularly important, and you can set them according to your own preferences.

105

00:08:55,966 --> 00:09:00,566

Well, at this point our system is completely installed

106

00:09:01,466 --> 00:09:05,600

Ok, the above is the installation process of network recovery

107

00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,300

There is one more thing we need to pay attention to,

108

00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:13,666

that is, the Intel platform needs to use Command+R to enter the network recovery

109

00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,600

However, if it is Apple computers with M1 and M2 CPU,

110

00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:23,166

you need to press and hold the power button to enter the recovery mode, and then select "Options" to enter.

111

00:09:24,166 --> 00:09:28,733

Next, let's look at the second installation method, U disk installation

112

00:09:29,466 --> 00:09:34,566

The installation process of U disk installation and network recovery is basically the same,

113

00:09:34,966 --> 00:09:38,400

only the first step and the installation medium are different

114

00:09:38,966 --> 00:09:44,000

Network recovery is to install the system by downloading the installer from the network,

115

00:09:44,366 --> 00:09:49,966

and U disk installation is to use the installer written in the U disk to install the system

116

00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,366

Therefore, you need to prepare one more tool for U disk installation,

117

00:09:54,566 --> 00:09:56,700

that is, Apple鈥檚 installation U disk

118

00:09:57,333 --> 00:10:01,533

We only need to choose to boot from the u disk at startup

119

00:10:01,733 --> 00:10:08,533

The next process is the same as the network recovery, erase the disk, and reinstall Mac OS

120

00:10:10,966 --> 00:10:15,400

Next, let's try the U disk installation on the actual computer.

121

00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,666

Still the same, let's turn off this computer first

122

00:10:20,266 --> 00:10:22,466

Then plug in the boot disk

123

00:10:22,566 --> 00:10:24,466

Hold down the option key

124

00:10:24,866 --> 00:10:26,600

Then press the power button

125

00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:32,300

The option key should be pressed and held for a long time, and then released after the screen responds

126

00:10:34,966 --> 00:10:38,100

You can see that the screen now has a picture

127

00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,900

It entered the boot manager

128

00:10:41,733 --> 00:10:44,766

There are a total of 4 boot items in the U disk

129

00:10:45,066 --> 00:10:49,133

Three of them are different versions of the Mac OS installer

130

00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,333

Let's pick one at random

131

00:10:54,266 --> 00:10:59,400

After selecting the first one, you can see a forbidden symbol displayed on the screen

132

00:10:59,566 --> 00:11:03,866

This shows that the installation version of the Mac OS we selected does not match this computer

133

00:11:04,066 --> 00:11:06,866

We have to shut down and change to a new version

134

00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,100

Press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds to shut down

135

00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:17,333

It's still the same, we hold down the option key and then press the power button to let it enter the startup manager

136

00:11:19,566 --> 00:11:25,600

We just chose the first Mac OS installer, now we choose the second

137

00:11:28,100 --> 00:11:33,200

Now there is no forbidden symbol, but directly in the progress bar

138

00:11:33,333 --> 00:11:36,400

Indicates that this version can be installed

139

00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,333

Let's wait

140

00:11:43,700 --> 00:11:50,366

After the progress bar is finished, now you have entered the same interface as the recovery mode

141

00:11:51,300 --> 00:11:57,366

The next operation process is the same as the recovery mode operation process

142

00:11:57,833 --> 00:12:03,000

Use the Disk Utility grid disk, and then use the Install Mac OS to install the system

143

00:12:03,266 --> 00:12:06,300

It's just that you don't need to download the system online

144

00:12:06,666 --> 00:12:09,533

Then I will not demonstrate the next process

145

00:12:11,366 --> 00:12:14,466

Finally, let's look at the disk copy

146

00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:18,400

In addition to the Apple computer with the system to be installed,

147

00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,566

we also need to prepare an external hard disk or U disk with the system installed,

148

00:12:24,333 --> 00:12:28,466

or an Apple computer with the system installed

149

00:12:29,266 --> 00:12:32,466

Disk Utility is required to use DiskCopy

150

00:12:32,766 --> 00:12:37,166

Disk Utility is available in Recovery Mode, and also in System

151

00:12:37,300 --> 00:12:41,000

It is recommended to use disk utility in recovery mode

152

00:12:41,733 --> 00:12:47,566

Use the recovery function in Disk Utility to copy the system

153

00:12:53,166 --> 00:12:56,166

Next, let's try to operate this process

154

00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,300

First open Disk Utility

155

00:13:00,933 --> 00:13:05,900

Select Show, select Show All Devices

156

00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,333

This way you can see all hardware devices

157

00:13:10,100 --> 00:13:13,266

You can see that there is a system in the external U disk

158

00:13:13,533 --> 00:13:18,000

We want to restore this system from the external U disk to the internal hard disk

159

00:13:18,733 --> 00:13:22,333

First select this partition in the internal hard drive

160

00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,100

After selecting the partition, click the restore button on the right

161

00:13:27,566 --> 00:13:34,133

Then select the recovery source and select the system partition in the external U disk

162

00:13:34,733 --> 00:13:36,766

Then click restore

163

00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,566

After the progress bar is finished, the copying of the hard disk is completed.

164

00:13:41,666 --> 00:13:43,900

The system is installed

165

00:13:44,366 --> 00:13:49,066

I won't show you here

166

00:13:49,700 --> 00:13:56,900

Under normal circumstances, the two methods we use most are U disk installation and network recovery.
