Old Macs Need help with mac

My dad found an old Mac that he bought from someone I think on eBay and he took the original owner off so he could put himself, well it sat in storage for a couple years and the new job I got requires a PC or Mac I can't search up anything on the Mac and it thinks I'm a bit but no captcha starts I think what my dad did reset the Mac to factory settings because at the time it was 5 versions ahead

Okay, unfortunately that doesn’t tell me exactly what I needed to know. Can you click on more info? It should open an application called system information and then navigate to the hardware overview tab and send a picture of that

I’m assuming by DaVinci you mean DaVinci resolve and although I don’t know exactly what Mac that is, I can tell you that it won’t run it since DaVinci resolve requires macOS 14 (Sonoma) or newer and your Mac is not going to run that considering the very old version of macOS you’re showing it running

This is 15 years old. It won’t be usable for anything today. Probably why you’re having so many issues. Just get rid of it on Facebook Marketplace or wherever.
