Recently, friends who bought MacBook and MacMini with M1 chip, when reinstalling the system or other operations need to perform recovery mode, they will find that they can’t enter recovery mode by holding down the Command + R shortcut when turning on the computer. What is going on? What?
The original M1 chip computer's method of recovery mode has changed. The new method is as follows:
1. In the shutdown state, start the Mac and keep pressing the power button without letting go until you see the startup options window, as shown below:
2. You can use the left and right mouse buttons to select "Options", and then click "Continue".
3. When the system asks you to select a user whose password you know, please select such a user, click "Next", and then enter the user's administrator password.
4. Enter the recovery mode at this time, you can perform other operations such as restoring time machine backup, reinstalling the system, formatting the disk, etc.
