So I've nabbed my evil stepdaughter's Mac Book Air thing as a 'travel lap-top'.
I want to clear all the shit off it and get it working all tickity boo again (it's currently a bit slow due to all the stuff she's put on it).
The easiest way would be, I hope, to do a complete re-set back to factory settings.
I had a brief look on the internet last night and it would seem I have to delete everything on the disc (SSD?) and then reload the OS. Looking at the detail of what to do it does not look straight forward (for somebody like me who struggles with anything more complicated than an on/off button).
C'mon, this is a Mac. Is there really (he forlornly asks) not just a simple command/button, as on my iPhone, that will just wipe and reset everything in one foul swoop?
