How to Wipe OCLP and Restore Factory OS for Resale

Preparing an OCLP Mac for a New Owner

To give your 2017 MacBook Pro to your father with the 'Base OS', you need to completely remove the OpenCore environment.

Wiping Process:

  1. Reset NVRAM: Hold Cmd+Opt+P+R for three chimes. This removes the OCLP boot settings.
  2. Internet Recovery: Hold Cmd + Opt + R to boot into the official Apple recovery for the 2017 MBP (usually Ventura).
  3. Erase SSD: In Disk Utility, erase the internal SSD. This removes the OCLP EFI partition and all your data.
  4. Reinstall: Follow the prompts to reinstall the native macOS. It will now boot normally without any OCLP involvement.

Original Question: "How to reset back to factory OS with OCLP installed?"

Hi, last time I posted on here I was asking a stupid question about if OCLP transferred across to a newer mac and thanks for the clarification! However today I have gotten a new MacBook pro aswell, so that means wiping my old one (which has OCLP on it) so my father (currently has a 2013 mbp, my old ones a 2017 mbp) can upgrade his, he has said he'll try base OS as not tech savvy like me. So the question is how can i reset back to factory? Dont care about losing data locally since I transferred all i need onto new already. TIA!
