I watched 3 other videos and tried to install however it failed. But after watching your video it worked! This video was the best, most concise and clear, step by step way. Thank you ever so much for providing this type of content. By far the best way to install this
You're most welcome!!😀 I'm so glad to know it worked. Thanks for letting me know! I hope you already subscribed. Looking forward to hearing more from you.😊
Hi, thank for the tutorial it was really helpful. I have encountered a problem thou my installer keep breaking off at about 80% and I cant seem to reinstall the os. Please share any advice you can on what to do
There might be some issues with the installation media, which you have created. May be some files are missing! Why don’t you recreate the installation media and try it again. And let me know if this works, if not I’ll be happy to help 😀
@@TechReviewPro yeah I thought of that but I had erased my previous os before i encountered the problem . the error message it gives is " an error occured validating the installer data. The download is either damaged or in complete
Okay, that’s the issue! No problem, make sure you’ve working internet connection, remove the installation media and turn off your Mac. Now turn it on while holding Option+Command+R button. Release the button when you see the Apple Logo. This will put your Mac into internet recovery Mode. And reinstall the OS. But keep in mind this might take upto 8-9GB of bandwidth. Do let me know if this works!
Yes, you can! According to Apple : APFS is optimised for the Flash/SSD storage used in recent Mac computers, it can also be used with older systems with traditional hard disk drives (HDD) and external, direct-attached storage.
Thanks for this video. it was very clear and helpful. I bought a Samsung t7 SSD that I plan to use with my Late 2012 iMac, and I got through all the steps but I stopped around the 10 minute mark on your video. You kind of breeze past the "backup" part. I don't want to go further in case I delete anything important. Any tips on how to backup? Thank you again.
Hello ! Thank you for the tutorial! I have a question, i do everything like you till the last moment. I have a MacBook air early 2015, and when I am turning it on, the PC don't go to boot system. And in "system preferences->startup disk" the external USB drive don't appear. Any suggestion ? Thank you in advance
Thank you, I bought an older MacBook Pro and couldn't auto upgrade as it was formatted incorrectly. This was by far the easiest method to upgrade from macOS Mojave.

I really appreciate this detailed video. Way better content than most other videos. Question-- After erasing and formatting the drive (in my case, I have installed a new SSD into my MBA) 12:48, what would happen if I restore from Time Machine Backup from an external drive INSTEAD of proceeding to install a clean macOS like you did in the video? Would doing this process instead STILL install the new macOS once finished restoring from TM backup onto my newly installed SSD? Thank you so much for the help, Rahul!
Hi Jensen 👋First of all, I wanted to thank you for your comment and appreciation. I'm so glad you liked the tutorial and found it way better than others. Here is answer to your query: When you do so, it'll install that way as well, but the problem with that is: it may bring some residual files from previous operating system as well that might cause some minor bugs. So it's always better idea to clean install. But again, keep in mind, that's a minor one and you might not even notice those minor bugs. So choose the one that suits you. I hope this helps! If not, feel free to ask. I'll try my best to help. Thanks! 😀

Its depend to your model of your Macbook.. Big Sur you can only install with 2013- to now... under 2013 i think you cant not, but i think with a app, you can install Big Sur if you have a 2012 or less
Hey brother you help me a lot with my iMac 2013 lates version. i was having a hard times to put it back to work because i factory reset without any back up and then its start with X LION IOS which do not let me do anything through App Store etc. Finally i found your helpfull video!, now ill be able to fix that IOS issues. Thanksm its working so far, im still working on it, but i like to say thank you because you really help me this time. Thanks again.
No, it’s not compulsory, but this video is for a clean install. And if you don’t format the SSD, you are not clean installing the OS, instead of that you’re simply upgrading the OS.
Yes, you can install the OS through system update and in this process your data will also be safe. But I would still suggest you to please backup your files to an external drive so that there is no possibility of file loss.

I created the bootable usb, however when I click the installer on the start up, it just brings up an image of a circle with a line crossed out. Please help.
TechReviewPro same here , however when I’m bout to download 8gb of data in the installer while at the end of finishing it and it automatically restarts into boot despite that I can’t even go into applications folder where it is easy to make bootable drive using cmd , since it’s restarting and installing so I can’t do is there solution .?
Thanks your instructions worked perfectly. Followed your detailed steps after my previously failed attempts. Upgraded my old 256GB SSD to my new 1TB SSD drive, which is now running Catlina OS. It feels much faster than before, not sure if that's the clean install, or the new drive. Anyway thanks again!

My iMac 8,1 keeps saying my volume does not contain a valid copy of macOS. I downloaded the installer on an external hard drive, made a copy of the OS onto my internal APFS volume, and now during the post install patches portion, it’s saying the only volume I have/am using doesn’t have a valid copy. BUT on disk utilities it shows the correct GB of used storage from the OS (about 8.5 GB).... what do I do? I’m stuck.

while making the bootable drive is it ok to use APFS ??
it is compulsorary to format the ssd? If I want my data to remain in the SSD, then also can I follow this method?
No, it’s not compulsory, but this video is for a clean install. And if you don’t format the SSD, you are not clean installing the OS, instead of that you’re simply upgrading the OS.

Hello; please, could someone explain to me whether I have to erase/format the new SSD I will be installing in my Mac Mini before I clean-install MacOS Catalina? If so, then how do I do this (do I have to use Disk Utility)?
Thank you very much in advance.
