[QUOTE="AirBear, post: 1906648, member: 404250"] As a last resort try installing Ubuntu Linux. Back in 2020 I refurbished several donated Mac's that we gave to low income families with school age kids to use for remote school. When I couldn't get an OS to install for reasons similar to what you have I was able to get Ubuntu Linux to work. There's a wifi driver you may need, if so Google that, it was easy to find and install but I've forgotten the details. [URL unfurl="true"]https://ubuntu.com/#download[/URL] [/QUOTE]
