[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1724133, member: 110816"] And there's the rub. Since you haven't already purchased a version of OS X (for money or free), it can't find a version to give you. If you have access to another Mac, then you can log in to the MAS with your Apple ID. Download the El Capitan OS X installer for free and use [URL="http://diskmakerx.com/"]Diskmaker X[/URL] to create an USB installer from it. The 2011 iMac can definitely run El Capitan, the latest version of OS X. How much memory does the iMac have? If it has 4GB or so, you might want to consider upgrading it. At some point, the 21.5" iMacs memory couldn't be user-upgraded, not sure if that affected the 2011 model year.. [/QUOTE]
