[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1775174, member: 42497"] Well it may be that the MBP only had Snow Leopard OS X.6 installed as that was the standard operating system back in 2011. Internet Recovery is not available for Snow Leopard. for %20.00 including postage, pop the DVD in, reboot Suggest purchasing Snow Leopard OS X.6 from Apple Online. Pop the DVD in, reboot and hold down 'C' When the OS loads, leave the Installer and go to Utilities > Disk Utility and erase and format the hard drive Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Back to the Installer and proceed. When finished, set up Network etc and go online and download the OPS X.6.8 Combo Update, and from there when you establish an Apple ID for the App Store, you will be able to download El Capitan OS X.11 free of charge. I have provided links for Snow Leopard fromn Apple, the Combo Updater andEl Capitasn for OS X.6.8 users.
