However, Apple provided firmware updates to add this feature to your Mac. (I have no idea if your Mac has these updates.) This would allow you to use the Shift-Option-Command-R key combination at startup. I believe the Option-Command-R key combination first required Sierra or newer to be installed. Note that even if your Mac can use OS X Internet Recovery, Apple's servers may not support a model as old as yours. | |
| Nov 12, 2021 at 10:54 | comment | added | Naiade | @DavidAnderson This is the guide I followed in order to create a bootable from Windows. As for the partition, yeah that sounds about right, since the comment below pointed out it would seem I'm getting the kernel panic out of trying to reinstall from a recovery partition. That's why I tried to make a bootable usb, but... The USB never really shows up. | |
| Nov 12, 2021 at 10:39 | comment | added | David Anderson | Perhaps you could provide a link to the guide you found online. I believe Lion and Mountain Lion had that capability. However, the versions of OS X and macOS since Mountain Lion normally do not have a partition inside the SSD with a fresh clean copy of the OS. If you had El Capitan installed, then there should have been a recovery partition which is suppose contain software that can reinstall El Capitan by downloading El Capitan from the internet to the partition where installation is to take place. Note that Apple may no longer support that method installation. | |
| Nov 12, 2021 at 10:18 | comment | added | Naiade | @DavidAnderson I don't know how to explain it properly, it would appear that Mac Os reserves a partition inside the SSD with a fresh clean copy of the OS, an original installation. My first option was to restore that copy. I tried making a bootable from my computer (Win 10) from a guide I found online, using the TransMac utility, the official El Capitan dmg and a 32GB flash drive. But I'm sensing that it's not a proper bootable since it doesn't really show how to recover from the USB. I currently do not have access to any other computer that runs Mac Os. | |

| Nov 11, 2021 at 19:11 | comment | added | David Anderson | What do you mean by "clean copy stored in the drive"? My understand is that older El Capitan installation files, which may have be useable in the past, are no long useable today. Do you have access to any other computers that could be used to make installation media? If so, what type and which operating system? | |
