I'm about to sell my old iMac (2006 model) and want to reset it back to factory settings like it was before it was switched on for the first time so that it's new owner can set it up the way they want.
I know I can do this from the install disc but when I bought this Mac it came with Tiger installed. Since then I've upgraded to Leopard and Snow Leopard but always as upgrades and not fresh installs. Obviously I want to sell it with Snow Leopard installed but can do I do this since the license I have for SL is as an upgrade i.e. will it need me to either provide a license for Leopard or have Leopard or Tiger installed first?
Also, obviously I'd sell the Mac with the Snow Leopard disc but do I also need to include the Leopard and Tiger discs as this is an upgrade license? I'm just not sure if I still have them or not.
