Can you install it without connecting to Apple/iCloud first? Like from flash drive to obliterate macOS, or does a partition have to be kept around still?

- mort96 3y agoYou don't have to connect to iCloud or have an Apple account to set up macOS, you just click "skip" or "set up later" in necessary places in the setup flow. It's not like Windows where installing it without connecting to your Microsoft account is hard.
- Aldo_MX 3y agoApple requires a hardware activation, especially if you forgot to sign out from Find My Mac before a factory reset. So the answer is no.
