Hi - I'm retiring my old IMac and before I send it off for recycling I followed the steps to perform a "factory reset" (including signing out of ICloud / IMessage). When restarting the machine I now get the following screen.
My question is this - am I good to go ahead and recycle the machine knowing all personal data is removed?
Thanks
Ian

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated - if I were to send it somewhere other than Apple (e.g. online second hand recycling outfit) would you say I'm still good to go?
I would not trust anyone else other than Apple for recycling. If possible, use them: Free recycling - Apple.

Yes, if you’re returning it to an Apple Store.

No. Stick to Apple, no need not to. They do this for free.
