Hello my friends, you guys helped me tremendously back in August of 2020 with my 2019 MBP on 10.15.6 with blocking MDM using the steps pictured in the posted screenshot (sorry I found a quoted version first). Anyway, I try to never be that guy that doesn't read all of the posts on a thread before commenting but I've been reading through for about two hours and wow has this thread grown over the past almost 4 years now!

Anyhow, I have been scared to ever update the above said MBP and am still on that OS however now things are starting to kick me out because I am on such an old version. Can't even use Safari anymore without things not loading.

So my question: I have been reading all over the place on here as to what I should do step by step to update and still keep MDM blocked. I know things have changed a bit since 2020 lol. I have full admin access and no MDM issues as of right now. Does that mean I can do something without erasing the full hard drive? Will I have to do a reinstall? Would my ol' dusty 2015 non-MDM MBP be of any need? Should I "chip?" it to change the serial number? Would it be easier to just hit update and then use Checkm8 if I get to the "Remote Management" popup? Sorry for all these questions but that's where I got after reading through so many posts tonight. Any help would be awesome before I randomly just try to jump into something. Thanks a ton for now so far and ~4 years ago!
