Well, I told myself I was going to change over to Apple's ecosystem soon and today I got that opportunity, I've bought a second hand MacBook and I've had it four hours and I'm converted fully more than I was before.
However I have noticed a few things and would like a little help from the pro's, the previous owner left everything on the system e.g. user profile, videos, pics even utility bills and I don't really want to see all this so I want to reformat the computer and start with my own profile. I've watched videos on youtube about how this is done and I'm confident I can reformat and start afresh I'm just a little concerned that on the computer is iWork 09 but I don't have the disc to add this back on once I'm back up and running, I've checked to see if there is a serial number so I can re download it but there is none.
Which leads me to you guys how can I get around this and are my suspicions right that this may have been illegally acquired? If that's the case I'll just format and buy it, however if it is legit I don't really want to be throwing money at something that's technically already been added.
Any input would be much appreciated
