[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1876864, member: 42497"] No Internet Recovery for the MacBook Pro alas as it is too old. You might try this method to download El Capitan OS X.11, burn to an +8GB thumb drive using DiskMakerX which will be made bootable and install from that. Scroll down to El Capitan. You will need a Mac to do the download and making the thumb drive bootable. I do not think the 2016 model is capable of this as it came with OS X.12. Next option is to buy a Lion or Snow Leopard version on an install CD from Apple Online fore $20.00.
