[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1659032, member: 24160"] Not sure what you mean by "once I could get back into the App Store". Based on what you've stated, the computer you're giving to her still has OS X installed and bootable. There is no reason to start over with SL. Download whichever OS you are going to install and create a USB stick. And if the MB is not bootable, then download OS X on your iMac and load it onto a USB stick. However, if the MB will boot to the Recovery partition, you can still erase, partition and do a clean install from there. [/QUOTE]
