You can do that by simply using Command Q to quit and you get the option to shut down and then basically when they start it up they end up right back on this screen where they can set up the Mac to use for themselves with their own user account and everything.Check our /r/AppleHelp FAQ and basic troubleshooting guide before posting. If your plan is to give this Mac to somebody else you may want them to set it up instead of you doing it for them. So once it's all done you end up with the Welcome screen here. It will download and install a fresh copy of Sierra on this Mac. Then it's going to walk me through the process. If I wanted to, if I had a time machine backup and I was using this to restore my machine I could do it from a time machine backup. You have to only to be able to boot into this recovery partition. Now I need to reinstall MacOS because there's nothing on that drive.
I can use Erase and I want to erase and probably keep the name, Mackintosh hard drive, I want to do MacOS Extended and Journaled, and hit Erase. You can see here's, under disk images, here is the recovery partition I'm currently using. Once I'm in disk utility I can select the drive. If I wanted to clear off this Mac I could go into disk utility here. It's using the latest version that I have on this machine rather than the original operating system version which is what happens if you do internet recovery. So now you're in Utilities and if you watched yesterday's video you can see this looks a little different and it says MacOS Utilities because this is the Sierra version of that. So it doesn't actually have to contact the internet to do this. It took about twenty minutes to do internet recovery mode because it had to load the entire recovery partition from the internet but recovery mode is actually loading a special version of the operating system that's on a hidden part of your hard drive. Now I can release and I should see it move much quicker. Then it's going to start up in recovery mode. So I'm going to do a restart here and as soon as I start the restart I'm going to hold down Command and R.
The way to do that, of course, is to restart it into recovery mode, not internet recovery mode which is Option Command R but regular recovery mode which is just Command R.
You may actually want to restart a Mac, set it new, but keep the current operating system maybe just to start off fresh or hand it off to somebody else in your family. That restores it to the operating system that you had when you originally bought the machine. Video Transcript: So yesterday I showed you how to take a Mac and restore it to a clean new state just like you bought it from the store using internet recovery mode.
