[QUOTE="Sparky61, post: 1746634, member: 376025"] OK, I have two bootable clones (tested both as advised) and a bootable USB drive containing what I believe is a complete copy of 10.11.6 (cuz my MBP will boot from it). I know I have to format my internal SSD to do a clean install of 10.11.6. No problem, I located Disk Utility while my MBP is running 10.11.6 on the USB. Then ... duh, dunno what to do. How do you install 10.11.6 from the bootable USB to the newly formatted internal SSD? Yes, I'm a Newb ... gotta admit your ignorance before you can overcome it. Holding down the Option key at startup gives me "10.11.6 recovery" option ... That might work but there's probably a more elegant or correct way to go about this. Please save me from my ignorance. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
