I tried preparing my MacBook Pro for sale and followed the procedures but now it cannot start up. I get a flashing question mark. What can I do?

How do I restart my MacBook Pro if I am getting a flashing question mark meaning it cannot locate a startup disk?

Follow Step 7.


You can just sell it as is and let the buyer install macOS.
