[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1886733, member: 110816"] You are in the Recovery Console that's used to re-install the OS should you need to. The way that you get in there is by holding down CMD+r during boot. It shouldn't get in there automatically though unless somehow you've messed up your macOS installation. You will want to reconnect to the Internet by click on the WiFi icon on the top right and reentering your network password. I would then recommend you go to Disk Utility and erase the contents of the partition and then do a re-install of High Sierra. Once the installation is completed and the computer restarted and comes up to the setup page, just power it off by holding down the power key. Now you can give this iMac to your nephew and when powered it, it will take him through new Mac setup process and he can set it up how he wants it. [/QUOTE]
