Hello forum

I am trying to setup and use my future Mac without AppleID (but I am not aware of the consequences about that).

Question:
Is it possible to reinstall MacOS on a new SSD or HD without such an AppleID? How (e.g. is a Boot-DVD required)?


Thank you!

Bill
 
If it is a newer Mac, you can use Internet recovery (command-option-r boot) to reinstall the OS without an AppleID.
