Hi all,
I have a MacBook Pro 5,1 (late 2008) and I recently installed Catalina (patch from DosDude1) to see if it would work. We'll it didn't (properly). The installation went well and everything, but the MacBook is getting hot and the battery drains like hell. Also having the crashes when closing the lid. I don't think Catalina is worth it for my machine, so I want to get back to El Capitan. Now;
1. How do I do this?
2. Is this even possible because I needed to convert my drive to Apfs.
3. The original software is OS X Snow Leopard, but I don't have a disk. And their not avaliable anymore.
I do have a bootable USB from El Capitan, made myself with help of the official Apple website and also backed up my files on another drive, so I don't mind doing a clean install. Someone please help?
