macOS: Instructions for system reinstallation and Boot Camp management

Technical instructions outline procedures for managing operating systems on Apple hardware, specifically regarding macOS reinstallation and dual-boot configurations.

Users can manage startup partitions by holding the Option (Alt) key during the boot process to access a startup menu. To prevent delays, it is recommended to disconnect network cables to avoid searching for network-boot sources. The default operating system can be set within this menu by holding the Control key or via the Startup Disk settings in macOS.

For users installing Windows via Boot Camp, the process involves formatting the installation medium. It is necessary to back up all data on the USB drive beforehand. Additionally, the Windows ISO image must be stored on the Mac's internal memory rather than the USB drive during the setup process.
