I’ve a Macbook Air mid-2013. The unique SSD drive had Catalina and was working intermittently, so I made a decision to alter it. I acquired a third-party SSD drive of the identical measurement, and the corresponding adapter to have the ability to plug it in. It comes from a Home windows machine, so after I begin booting it begins loading Home windows, which means that the drive is efficiently acknowledged.
I’ve a bootable USB drive, creating utilizing this information, that incorporates Catalina. Nonetheless, it would not boot, exhibiting as an alternative a circle with a line by way of it…
Now, utilizing the command+R possibility on this state of affairs masses the OS this pc got here bundled with, specifically OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion). The issue is, this model of OSX is not capable of acknowledge this SSD drive. It would not seem in Disk Utility, as an illustration. So I can not set up OSX Mountain Lion from it. I imagine this is identical motive the USB drive is booted to a circle with a line by way of it.
Utilizing possibility+command+R masses macOS 11 (Massive Sur), and it is a new sufficient model that it sees the SSD drive. So I may set up this model. Drawback is, I imagine this model is simply too new for it to run easily on this older system, so I wish to set up macOS 10.15 (Catalina) as an alternative.
How can I obtain that? Can I one way or the other use the terminal on this Massive Sur Restoration Mode to put in Catalina to my SSD from the USB drive?
