Hi
I bought a second hand Macbook pro 17 inch 2012 model and it has windows installed on it as the only operating system since the old HDD was replaced with a new ssd. The guy i bought it from said i could simply install mac os on it again but dear god. Ive tried every possible way and had no chance so far. I tried booting from a usp but the usps containing the mac os wont be recognized.I contacted apple support and they told me that the 'system is overwritten'.
You might say maybe i should just use the windows. The problem is the mac has many small problems that cant be fixed. Ive installed the boot camp drivers, it helped a little but there are still some issues.For example, the audio drivers dont work so i cant get any sound of the mac. Also, I cant use the 'sleep' function cuz the mac just shuts down when I try. And also the screen brightness cant be adjusted.
I appreciate any help
