Hi all,

Looking for some help.

I own a late 2012 iMac (thin design without built in disc drive).
I want to restore my Mac to factory settings and start fresh with it.

I have partitioned the main 1TB HDD so I could install Windows on it. Will this cause any complications with the restore?

Any step by step guides?

There's only a few documents that I need to save, along with my iTunes library, which I can just copy over to an external HDD, then copy back after the restore is complete.

Thanks in advance for any help and information.
