Hello!
I have MacMini Late 2014 with HDD drive with El Capitan.
I bought SSD Samsung Evo 970 M2 and NGFF Adapter.
I have added patch-nvme by RehabMan. After that Mac showed my SSD.
I tried to erase it with DiskUtility, but had an error:
I tried to format it using fdisk and had success:
After that DiskUtility had the same error.
How can I format it to HFS with GUID partition scheme?
What should I do next to install El Capitan on SSD?
I think it will be some problems with installation because new instance of El Capitan on ssd won't have patched kext. How can I solve this problem?
I know that everything will be ease if I install High Sierra, but I need El Capitan.
