[QUOTE="farmeunit, post: 1820444, member: 402744"] I have two 2010 MBP with the same Kingston Q500. Neither will boot after Restore. I did Internet Recovery and local recovery. Both install the OS. I can use Disk Utility, etc.. The issue is that the SSD shows as not bootable in Disk Utility and will NOT show as a bootable device in either laptop. That's with High Sierra. I also created a bootable flash drive. Again, it installs the OS, but the OS won't boot. I tried APFS, but High Sierra says it needs to be MacOS Extended, which doesn't make sense, because I though APFS was standard for High Sierra. Anyways, I thought about trying Sierra, but I can't get Sierra from apps store. I found download for Combo Update, but it's a DMG and I need to put on flash drive and boot off of it. I did that with HighSierra.app, but can't get the Sierra.app. Someone mentioned try another SSD. I have that same one in a 2012, but there could be a difference. I also tried Mohave Patcher. It boots off the flash drive, but freezes as soon as it starts on the Apple logo. Any solutions? [/QUOTE]
