How to use DiskMaker X on a new Mac

New Macs come with a preinstalled macOS version. DiskMaker X may not work on them. Here are some important things to know:

1. Check the macOS Version – A new Mac has a preinstalled version that might not be compatible with DiskMaker X installers.
2. Use macOS Internet Recovery – If a DiskMaker X installer does not work, Internet Recovery is the best way to install macOS. This method downloads the latest version from Apple’s servers.
3. Do Not Install Older macOS Versions – Installing a macOS version that is older than the one that came with the Mac may cause errors.

Older Macs can still use DiskMaker X to install macOS easily. For newer Macs, Apple’s built-in recovery tools are the best option.
