The startup and accompanying discs are long gone from my mother-in-law's old Macbook ... I'd like to wipe it and return it to factory settings. Can I download an old system from Apple? It's currently running 10.6.3. Thanks!

What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Mac
Snow Leopard OS X 10.6 came on a Disc, you can still find in on ebay or some such
Your local Apple store maybe able to help
a 2010 can run 10.13.6 High Sierra
