Some content would help.


What are you looking to achieve here? How have you troubleshot it thus far?


Renaming a Hard Drive:

If you want to rename the hard drive, then you'd need to backup your Mac > go into Recovery Mode to reformat it with the desired name (with the correct characters), and then restore it all from the backup your just created.

Reinstall the macOS Anew:

See if this Site Helps: How to Reinstall the macOS Anew - No TMB Prior to Upgrade - User Tip. Format the hard drive with the applicable macOS, on step D.

Pretty much, it is a matter of:

  1. Erasing: and formatting your hard drive to APFS
  2. Installing: [the applicable macOS] via a USB Bootable Installer
  3. Restoring: info from a Time Machine Backup, using Migration Assistant
