I know next to nothing about Macs and OSX.
I might be able to bag myself an outgoing 2011 iMac from work and keen to take it on as a project and potentially give to my future mother-in-law as a home computer.
It's not been used properly for years and has a bunch of accounts on there, all of which have since left and no one remembers any of the passwords.
Found a number of tear down videos and think I can upgrade the HD and RAM, thinking of going with a 500GB SSD and doubling whatever memory config is in there.
However it's the OS I am not sure about. What are my options? Can I just buy the latest copy of OSX and install it on the new HD?
