[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1893671, member: 110816"] I don't have any experience with macOS/OS X period to 10, so can't tell you exactly how, but you would presumably use the OS disk to boot into the installer. Then go into Disk Utility (assuming it was the same thing back in the day) and use it to erase your drive and then you can install the version on the freshly erased drive. Once you get to the "Welcome" page, just power down the Mac. Now the next time the Mac is powered up, it will allow the new user to go through the setup process. Again, I caveat all of this with my experience/knowledge of OS X 10 onward, so if 8.5 behaves differently, adjust as needed. [/QUOTE]
