Good Evening All,
I bought a second hand Macbook Pro a couple days ago and I need to know how to format it so it's back to factory settings and will be like switching on for the first time again.
I know how to do it on most Windows based laptops. There's normally a program on there and it's extremely simple.
I'm new to the Mac OS so is the process simple or not?
Also, will I need the Lion USB/Disc or can I safely format it without it?
If anyone can provide me with some useful info or a step-by-step guide, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance
PS, I absolutely love the Macbook Pro
