Before starting, however, it&#8217;s crucial to back up all our data using Time Machine or any other method. We won&#8217;t be using that copy, but it&#8217;s important to have it just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Meet the new MacBook Pro and Mac mini | Apple\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6Ij9PiehENA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, <strong>we can update to macOS Sonoma<\/strong>. Yes, update first, and then we&#8217;ll ensure the installation is clean. Here are the steps to follow for the update:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Click on the Apple menu (\uf8ff) and select <em>System Preferences<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to <em>General<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on <em>Software Update<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on <em>Update Now<\/em> and wait for the download and update to complete.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Sonoma, Apple has incorporated an option similar to that of iPhones and iPads: <strong>Erase all content and settings<\/strong>. This is the one we will use to achieve a clean installation with just a press of a button. The steps to follow are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Click on the Apple menu (\uf8ff) and select <em>System Preferences<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to <em>General<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on <em>Transfer or Reset<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose <em>Erase all content and settings<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter your Mac password.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Review all the information that will be deleted and click <em>Continue<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirm by clicking <em>Erase all content and settings<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After your Mac restarts, you&#8217;ll see the welcome message, indicating that the <strong>Setup Assistant is ready<\/strong>. Simply follow the on-screen instructions to set up your computer as needed.
