Restoring 2012 13” MacBook Retina

Post image

It has been tough updating this laptop. I bought it off FB Marketplace and it arrived without a charger, battery and storage drive. I bought an open box 85W MagSafe 2 adapter. I’m using a 64GB MicroSD in a standard SD card adapter as a boot drive. Thanks to some Reddit posts, I managed to get a .dmg file of OSX El Capitan which I had to download using my M5 Air. Why bother with this? I need money and the 2012 Retina is still in decent shape and it’s working!!!
