Thank you. Don't know why it took so long for me to find a straight-forward and direct way to do this, you were the first one after an hour of searching and following other so-called 'advice'!

Best video out there! I tried at least 5 other tutorials and they were all wrong and long. They were all published at the same timeframe but this video was the only one that worked for my M1 macbook pro! Thank you!

What a timely video. I’m migrating my wife’s old MBP to her new MBA. Once it’s moved over and a sufficient amount I. Time has gone by, we will be clearing the old Mac and selling.

Thank you for making this video. So helpful, exactly what I needed to know.

Thank you! I couldn't find any guide for the 2017 macbook pro. Basically, I'm a new Mac user, my cousin bought a new one and gave this 2017 Mac to me. All of the other vids had "JOURNAL" something in their erase disk instead of "AFPS". I didn't know anything about that so I left it. After two long days, I found your review. Thanks again!
