My new imac M1 arrived on Thursday.
Would you guys suggest I down grade the OS to Big Sur straight away? Can someone explain how this is done if that’s what is required ? Thanks so much . Does anyone else have some experience with Carbon and Monterey ? I’m most certain it’ll will arrive with Monterey . Thanks ! |

I don't have any first hand knowledge on this, but the way I understand it is that it's simply no longer possible to install system older than what it comes with. I think it has to do with the recovery partition, that it can't be rolled back, and can't coexist w/earlier versions. Sorry that's all I have. You'll have to research it.

EDIT:OK - see all the posts below before you proceed. This is more of a risk that it used to be. You may need to erase and reformat the entire disk, and install firmware using another Mac and Apple Configurator 2. You may brick the machine.
Yes definitely downgrade to Big Sur - should be possible from the Recovery Partition - plenty of online guides. Use the latest version of Big Sur - 11.6.1 - which is probably what it will install anyway. You don't want to be using Monterey at the moment if you can avoid it.

Guide here. Lots of blather about backing up, then the actual instructions.

You may have to downgrade the firmware first, as described here.
https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guid...dd5f3c75ad/mac Unfortunately I don't have a suitable Mac here to test with. It has previously always been possible to downgrade the OS to a version which existed when the machine model was released, even if the particular one you bought came with something later. Apple seems to be making this more and more difficult. Generally I wouldn't advise fiddling about to this degree, but Monterey and PT are really not friends at all. So I think it's worth persisting with trying this, regardless of what Sweetwater says. Last edited by dominicperry; 12-07-2021 at 03:03 AM. |
