There are several ways that you can reinstall the operating system on your Mac. The best method for you to reinstall macOS depends on your setup. For example, if you own one of the new Macs with Apple Silicon, the reinstallation method is totally different compared to someone with an older, Intel Mac.

There are several reasons why you might need to reinstall MacOS. It could be because you used Migration Assistant and now, things are acting "wonky." Whatever the reason, the good news is that this process is really simple. Before proceeding, there are a few things to remember:

1. Backup your data before proceeding
2. Reinstalling MacOS will NOT do anything if your Mac is experiencing hardware failure.
3. All of the reinstallation methods described in this video WILL keep your data safe. Backing up is purely a precaution.
