[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1656814, member: 204485"] Dependent on what OSX you have on this laptop the process for Reinstalling the OS is just a matter of Restarting holding the "R" key. Once you are in the Recovery Partition select Reinstall OSX and follow the prompts for a clean install. This will erase the content and install a new copy of all current "Native" apps. You will then have what will appear to be a brand new computer. N.B. Bear in mind any third party apps will be lost eg Microsoft Office for Mac OS. If your daughter wants/needs these apps you will need to consider either an alternative app like Open Office (free) or a new subscription just for her. [/QUOTE]
