The only way to go back to the original version of your OS is to find a copy of the installer package and create a bootable installer USB flash drive and then boot to it then use disk utility to eraise the current drive and install from the flash drive.
Otherwise your going to install from the current version on your main drive.you could also do the same kind of thing if you found an earlier version of your current OS and again install that from your flash drive. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Matt Turner Sent: Monday, 8 April 2019 5:58 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: booting in to recovery mode? Hi, I thought I'd tried to reinstall the version that came with my mac mini. I've tried all the keys like, cmd+R, and cmd+Shift+option+R, but it seems to want to use the internet recovery. I can see and image that's 2 gigs, when I look at the drives in disc utilities. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
