Install El Capitan Without Apple Id App

Hi guys, after a 40 min conversation with Apple Support I have finally managed to install OS X El Capitan on my Macbook Air. I will try to pin down the important points to do this. How to install macOS updates without an Apple ID. While the Mac App Store wants you to log in, it’s not strictly necessary. Mac 911 By Glenn Fleishman, Senior Contributor, May 1, 2018 10:00 pm PDT.

Check compatibility

The version of macOS that came with your Mac is the earliest version it can use. For example, if your Mac came with macOS Big Sur, it will not accept installation of macOS Catalina or earlier.

If a macOS can't be used on your Mac, the App Store or installer will let you know. For example, it might say that it's not compatible with this device or is too old to be opened on this version of macOS. To confirm compatibility before downloading, check the minimum hardware requirements:

• macOS Catalina 10.15 hardware requirements
• macOS Mojave 10.14 hardware requirements
• macOS High Sierra 10.13 hardware requirements
• macOS Sierra 10.12 hardware requirements
• OS X El Capitan 10.11 hardware requirements
• OS X Yosemite 10.10 hardware requirements

Download macOS using Safari on your Mac

Apple makes it fairly difficult to do a clean installation of OS X on a Macbook, primarily by providing misleading completely false instructions in their help.

If you make a new account (e.g. for a work laptop), you should try to sign into it in iCloud and the App Store on the laptop, if possible, before reinstalling the OS. Apple seems to require a credit card attached to the account.

Make sure you have time + power available to repeatedly download several multi-gigabyte installers. These instructions will allow you to install the OS clean – you cannot do a factory reset without these, as it will keep all the files and applications currently present on the device.

The general process for doing a clean install of the OS is as such:

1. Update the OS to the latest version¹. This attaches the latest version of the OS to your account, without which you cannot reinstall. You cannot follow this process without updating the OS to the latest version, because there is no way to download the installers for non-current versions.
2. Re-download the OS from the “Purchased” tab of the app store. This downloads the installer for the OS (normally this is discarded)
3. Get an 8 GB USB drive, and reformat it through the OS.
4. Use Diskmaker² to write the OS installer onto your USB drive.
5. Reboot the machine. While it restarts, press CMD-R.
6. This takes you into the OS install screen. Do not reinstall here – this forces you to redownload the OS, and it provides no option to format the disk.
7. From the menu in the upper right, select to reboot from a startup disk, and select your thumb drive.
8. When this boots into the USB mode, it looks exactly the same, except it is possible to install the OS without connecting to the internet. DO NOT INSTALL YET.
9. From this screen, select disk management, and format the disk as you desire (e.g. encrypted or not)
10. Now, once the disk is formatted, you can re-install the OS without issue. Note that you will need a phone handy to receive text messages, to verify your access.
