[QUOTE="ProfessorChaos, post: 1814195, member: 400315"] ok , I am up and running .. sort of ! lol This is what I did ( Thanks to the help of all you kind folks ) I created a bootable thumb drive ( funny it was for High Sierra , but it installed lion ? , maybe that is another thread . ) after I booted from the thumb drive I was able to format my new SSD , and then I was able to install Lion ( *** ?? ) on my computer. I am installing High Sierra so , all seems well for now .. About the Time Machine back up . I have a theory why I was not able to . The Time Machine back up that I have is on my 2017 iMac running Mojave 10.14.3 and Mojave is not supported on My mid 2011 iMac . You think this is why I was getting an error when trying to restore from the Time Machine ? [/QUOTE]
