[QUOTE="Sparky61, post: 1746684, member: 376025"] Thanks, being a Newb, I woulda used the Option key since it is in my small knowledge base. ;P Not knowing any better, when I downloaded El Cap to the USB, I created an account ... But at least your advice came soon enough to stop me from making things worse by proceeding with the format/clean install of 10.11.6 to my internal SSD. So ... what to do now? I bookmarked where the Apple tech directed me to download El Cap, so I think I can simply format the USB and start over. Unless you say otherwise. On a side note, I once learned from a serious techie dude that he would create a test environment for big changes, and practice there. I may format an extra drive and practice a clean install & migration to it before doing my internal SSD ... But maybe that's a boondoggle. In any case, thank you for the advice regarding the account setup. Part of climbing the learning curve! [/QUOTE]
