My friend just gave me his MacBook air, not sure of the model no. but Iam having troubel installing the OS. I read that I have to have the original Apple Id to install, does that mean I will have to purchase a new OS with my own apple id?

Re-installing OSx Macbook pro 2010 ready for sale without using my Apple ID I am Erasing a 2010 macbook pro. I have signed out of everything and erased HD but now it asks me for my Apple ID to reinstall OSx Yosemite. The 2010 model obviously didn't come with this and I dont have any kind of back up disks for the original OS - how can i set it up to an 'out of box' state ready for sale? Should I just leave it ready for them to download Yosemite using their Apple ID? cheers
