Resolved Reinstalling - Initial set up process

[Frozo.]

Hello, I've used the search function but I couldn't unfortunately find what I was looking for.

I'm about to reinstall Mavericks on my MBP but instead of going through the initial set up process I would like to stop there and allow my Dad (who's receiving the MBP) to experience the set up.

Once it gets to the set up stage can you just turn off the machine or is there something you have to do?

Thank you

Yes, pretty much.

Assuming that your Dad has the internet etc, just erase the Mac. Then when you turn it on it will display the boot options.

Leave it there and if he needs your help ( I'll bet he will ) you can come to the rescue!
