- iMac 21.5 (2019)
I have a MacBook Air with the following specs:
MacBook Air 13” Early 2015
Memory 8GB 2.2 ghz Intel i7
OSX El Capitan V10.11.6
Model MacBook Air 7,2
500 GB flash storage
I have two different power supplies and I’m uncertain as to which one that would normally go with the computer:
14.85V 3.05A
16.50V 3.65Z
I want to give this computer to my son-in-law as I have an iMac and MacBook Pro and rarely use the air machine.
Question #1: I want to reset (reformat?) the computer so that it’s as “brand new” as I can make it. All programs with all personal information & passwords, etc. to be removed. Best would be like I just picked it up at the store.
How to properly do this?
Question #2: Which one of the two power supply units is appropriate for the computer? I would rather give him the 16.50V/3.65A unit as I have several extras. I’m assuming that the “higher power” supply would not be a problem IF the normal unit is the 14.85V/3.05A?
My son-in-law has been a tremendous help in getting groceries etc. during the pandemic (older citizen here), and his old MacBook Air went kaput, so I know he would appreciate the computer.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated! THANKS!!
