Q: Hi! I'm trying to prepare my MacBook Pro 13" 2011 model for selling. When starting up in Utilities, and clicking "Reinstall OS X", I only get El Capitan as an option. This requires AppleID, which I want avoid because of selling. What to do?

Do I have to whipe the harddrive first? How do I do this without screwing up anything?

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
