“I just got my M1 based MacBook Pro and Macbook Air. Since I don’t need anything from the included software, I always try to restore the operating system without things like Garage Band and iMovie.

An ″ system update configuration ″ error occurs during installation.

After a couple of hours of talking on the phone with Apple representatives, I was told that another 75 people called with this problem, and the company has no solution. I was told to return my devices [в магазин] or wait for the fix. Without a working operating system, I have no way to install any updates in the future, so these computers are actually broken. “
