How it will work.
- Make the stickThe installer writes Encore to any USB stick of 8 GB or more, from your Mac, in a few minutes.
- Put it in the iMacThe iMac that no longer starts: a dead hard drive, a broken macOS, or a version that is simply too old.
- Hold the Option keySwitch the iMac on and hold Option (⌥) at the start-up chime. Pick Encore, and the iMac starts straight from the stick.
- Use it againNo macOS needed and nothing to set up. Your Mac finds the iMac, just like with the Encore Receiver app.
