[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1921738, member: 38864"] If that's a 2015, then the oldest version of OS X that it will run is 10.10 Yosemite. So Tiger is completely out of the question. You can't get Yosemite on a disc. The "correct" way for you to get started is via Recovery. Here are a couple guides to walk you through what to do. Basically you have to reboot the Mac while holding down a key combination. There are a couple different methods... I'm not sure which is applicable in your case. Internet Recovery is a bit different from macOS Recovery. The simpler "Recovery" works from a hidden partition that gets updated as newer versions of macOS get installed. If that partition no longer exists, then Internet Recovery will be needed. That gets you back to what that Mac would have shipped with.
