How to factory reset mac book air with m1 chip?
The new Apple MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini with the Apple M1 SoC have kickstarted the company’s multi-year transition from Intel CPUs to its own in-house silicon. It is very very fast and support for intel based applications. It also has excellent battery life.
The new MacBook Air is nearly identical to the Intel-based one Apple released earlier this year. It has the same well-loved wedge-shaped design, 2560 x 1600 screen that maxes out at 400 nits of brightness, Touch ID fingerprint login, reasonably good speakers, Apple’s revised scissor-switch keyboard, and that massive trackpad.

To factory reset you have to follow following steps
Note: The process by which you access Recovery on a M1 Mac is different to the process on an older Intel-powered Mac, but, because if you have an M1 Mac you will probably have used the Erase All Settings this shouldn’t be necessary for you. If you do want to enter Recovery on an M1 Mac, instead of pressing the Command and R buttons when you restart your Mac you will need to do the following:
- Turn off the computer by clicking on the Apple logo and choosing Shut Down.
- Now press and hold the power button to turn the Mac on again. Keep holding the power button!

3. When the Apple logo appears you’ll also see text informing you that if you continue holding you will be able to access startup options.
4. Continue to hold the button down (probably for around five more seconds) and the text should switch to Loading Startup Options.
5. Select options and enter continue and the macOS Utilities or Recovery opens as shown in the image below.
6. Then you can repair your disk by selecting Disk Utility or you can restore the previous backups by selecting “Restore From Time Machine Backup or Reinstall macOS by selecting “Reinstall macOs”.
7. Remember, Reinstalling macOS will erase all your data and take the mac to its factory configurations. It takes 30 minutes to 8 hours depending on the speed of your internet to completely reinstall macOS.
