[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1923633, member: 204485"] So apart from the questions above, can we assume you want to roll back your current Operating System to Yosemite? The primary reason to create a Bootable macOS installer on a USB stick is to erase the Macintosh HD thereby allowing you to install an earlier macOS. No, you will not find the macOS installer in your Applications Folder because it erases itself after use. You must download a fresh copy from the App Store but you will not find it by searching on the App Store, you need a link as provided by ferrarr in post #3. Lastly, but most importantly you must have a complete copy of all of your data to restore to the device after the "new" macOS is installed eg. a Time Machine backup. The real question is why do you want to return to an earlier OS? [/QUOTE]
