I have a 2009 24" iMac that I want to "wipe clean" and then give it to my three grandchildren to use. (Ages 7, 5 and 3).
The machine has been gathering dust for the last six months or so, but it started right up a few minutes ago.
It's current OS is El Capitan 10.11.6. It's age makes in unable to upgrade any higher.
What's the best way to "reformat" the HD so it's "clean"? Or as close to factory fresh as possible.
I do have the old Mac OS X Snow Leopard installation disk if that helps.
Thanks
