  • How do Factory Reset 2010 MacBook Pro of El Capitan?

    I was recommended a 'clean install' (reset factory default) by a user here to improve the speed of My MacBook Pro. However, in trying to follow the instructions provided (Figure 2), I am told that I am not so much (Figure 1). How should I proceed?

    I intend to bring my computer to the Apple Store to get the battery maintenance and upgrade from 4 GB to 8 GB of RAM, as two suggested here El Capitan.

    Figure 1. You cannot use this version of the application "Installer Mac OS X.app" with this version of the OS X. [El Capitan] you "install Mac OS X.app' 23.1.1.

    Figure 2. Installation instructions for the installation DVD Mac OS X about restoring the computer to the factory settings said to double-click on the icon to install Mac OS X.

    Reboot with the disk in the drive and press C or Option key.
