I'm using a late 2015 iMac running on High SIerra 10.13.5. When I plug in my USB SuperDrive, the computer doesn't recognize it (at all - I can't push the disc in). A family member's computer (mid-2010, running on the same OSX) DOES recognize the SuperDrive, but doesn't have the necessary...

I am planning to format my MacBook Pro to where I can easily switch from OS to OS remotely. That said the latest doesn’t work for me, where you need to physically press the option key after rebooting to select the boot options. I know that apfs started on High Sierra which requires pressing...
