300km a week through London on a road bike.
Hello all,
A kind person has offered me an old Mac, running El Capitan.
I would like to reinstall the OS so I am pressing Cmd-R and getting to the options screen. When I ask to reinstall, I get this message:
"To download and restore OS X, your computer's elegibility will be verified with Apple."
Does anybody know what is actually being checked here, and what information on the machine is being gathered? Just curious.
Ta.
