Hi

I have bought this old imac.
It has not been used for 5 years.

When try to install using original OS (boot holding ALT) it ask me for appleid.

I think it's the user who I bought it from.
But he don't have that appleid anymore and don't remember user.

My question is... can I just install a new harddisk or OS from USB or is the appleid connected to BIOS or something else?
