[QUOTE="xpac, post: 1605923, member: 333469"] 1) I have the serial number which is great as it gives me the year it was built and hardware specs, but how do I know which version of OS X it should run? 2) New laptops ship with a recovery partition, I'm willing to bet this didn't (based on the serial its an older MacBook circa 2008), is there an easy way to find out or obtain a copy of whichever version of the OS it should be running? As I said I was asked to rebuild this laptop for a new employee, there is no software and since I'm new here I have no idea who originally built it, etc. [/QUOTE]
