restore macbook air

Hi restoreair,

Yes, you can erase all content and settings, which restores your Mac back to factory settings. Back up your data with Time Machine, then select one of the options below:

• If your MacBook Air is running macOS Monterey or later, and it is made in 2018 or later: Erase all content and settings on Mac - Apple Support (CA)

• Otherwise, use these steps for an Intel processor or these steps for M1 and future Apple silicon chips.
