Q: Sold my 2010 MacBook, need to reinstall OS X

Hi all:

 

I sold my 2010 13" MacBook, and need to erase the hard drive and reinstall the OS X before sending it to the new owner.

 

I went through the instructions found here: What to do before selling or giving away your Mac - Apple Support

 

But, as soon as I get to the Install OS X screen, it is asking me to sign in with my Apple ID to download El Capitan (I had upgraded to El Capitan several weeks ago).

 

If I sign in with my Apple ID - won't that "mess it up" for the new owner?

 

Any help/guidance is GREATLY appreciated!!

 

Thanks in advance,

Kim

MacBook, OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)
