Good Afternoon. Okay! I was just was able to install a new hdd into my 21.5 inch late model 2013 iMac ( the same hdd the iMac came with). ( Hitachi ) It was a lesson in patience,but i did it. Now what? There is no disk to install, to get the operating system back like the older macs. I do not want to back up anything, this will be a clean install period. I want to give this computer to my niece since i have a new 27 inch iMac. Can i just boot up with Command +R and reinstall Yosemite and follow the instructions?
