[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1900253, member: 71075"] I don't think downgrading is technically impossible as the Macs, as far as I know, are not as wedded to the current version as iOS/iPad OS devices are (where downgrading is difficult, if not impossible). The challenge you're going to have is getting a hold of older versions of macOS. Internet recovery always defaults to the most current version of macOS that your machine can run. Do you have a backup copy of the Yosemite/El Capitan installer? [/QUOTE]
