Senior needs help preparing to give old 2007 MacBook to a friend
I have kept my old MacBook (Apr. 2007) as an emergency backup. It is running 10.7.5, the latest available for this model. I have a bff whom I am trying to help out (we are both seniors). I am giving her my iPhone 5 when the 6 comes out and I want to give her this old MacBook so she has a convenient way to backup her iPhone. I hope it will also help her overall with technology because she does not have a laptop, just a dated desktop PC.
I am not worried that she will use any of my personal info nefariously but I guess it would be easiest for her if I wipe the MacBook and give her just the basic OS. I still have the original CDs that came with the MacBook but I can't find anything that says what version of OS X came with the MacBook. I think I will need to repurchase for the MacBook any updates that I made to the OS because the ones I bought are tied to my Apple ID, is that right? Does anyone know how much that will cost or how I can figure that out? And I assume I would need to do the wipe and reinstall with her so she can create her own Apple ID and I could just pay for the updates? If there is anyone willing to help me figure this out, I would be most grateful. I want to be ready to roll when the iPhone 6 launches.
