- iMac 27" 2017 32 G ram MB Pro 2012 16 G ram iPad Air ser 5 2017 iPhone 11 xs max 256.
I have a late 2008 20 inch iMac with 4 gig of ram running El Capitan.
I need to re-install EL capitan to remove the previous admin, at the moment I still have the previous owners name as admin, but I have removed everything else related to her!
In my Documents folder I have the full setup folder (Install OS X El Capitan) which is over 6 gig in size, so I cannot save it to CD/DVD.
I have no need to save anything from the old installed setup, so I have 2 questions I need help with please?:
1. Can I run El Capitan from the Documents folder to overwrite the installed version, or do I need first to burn it to a memory stick to run it from there?
2. Is there anything else I need to know before I start (or after I start) installation?
Any advice would be a real help, thanks in advance!
