We have a mac mini that is running Yosemite and would like to reset it to factory settings. My 10yr old uses it and there isn't any important files on it. I have tried restarting it while holding the command and R key down but it hasn't worked. Any other suggestions?? Really could use the help. Thanks
Mac mini, OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1
If it shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, you need to insert a Mac OS X install DVD and press Option or C. Use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive and install a fresh OS.
If it shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart with the Option, Command, and R keys held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, and install a fresh OS.

Thank you so much!! I erased the hard drive and am now installing Mac OS. And it was so easy! This is why I love working with Apple and not PC. Thanks again.
