Q: Configuring a second hand mac
Hi,
We've just got a second mac (12" Retina) from my mother-in-law. I have the all the necessary passwords, icloud logins etc from her account. Now i would like to reconfigure it so it would run on our icloud login etc. Could someone help me out for the steps i need to take.
I have set up several accounts, users, mail accounts etc on other macs before. It's just that I would need to know what the steps are to get it clean and running on our users/accounts.
Hope I am about clear in what i'm looking for. If you need more info, please let me know.
Thanks!
