    thanks!!! for anyone using an external display, you won't see the popup options unless you close the lid of the laptop. i spent hours trying to figure out why i was only seeing a blank dark grey screen (and sometimes the apple toolbar) until i closed the lid and then the external display disconnected and then connected again to show all the options

      read this if your data gets deleted !!
      (view this from new profile) one thing , if you go into finder > macintosh hd -> users , you will most likely see your old directory but with a restricted access icon , as it should . it might not work at first , like for me it didn’t . i had to recreate a new one as the dock wasn’t working , and as i was restarting my laptop it ended up putting me with my moms one which wasn’t admin , but it was brand new. i doubt that will happen to you because i did that when my old user directory file would not delete from system preferences and got tired after waiting for over 12 hours . oh , and some apps in the application folder might not have an icon and when you try to open some it will say macos had an error or something ! i still have some issues from it , but it is only if it i try to mess with some data . i have not had an issue in over 3 months !
      hope you fix it ! :)
