Hello Mark and list,
Thanks.

That is interesting.
I have a 2012 MacBook Pro 15, that I got when my father past away. It is

Hi Dan,
I don't believe that you're stuck with Yosemite. To confirm, could you go to
the Apple menu, to About This Mac and let me know exactly what it says about
your Mac. That is, amount of memory, MacOS version, Mac model if available on

Hi,
If you use cmd-option-r, you will revert to the MacOS version that originally
came with your Mac. It sounds like, in your case, this was 10.10 Yosemite. If
you've already used this process, and installed Yosemite onto your Mac, then
you will not be able to use regular Recovery Mode (cmd-r
Hi Dan,
Try using Recovery mode via COMMAND + OPTION + R.. This option should allow
you to erase your SSD, and install the latest available version of macOS.

mode options.

If you do not have the installer that was downloaded to the

software update will try to install it but you can quit at that point.
Then create a USB installer with a 16gig stick. Two ways to do that.
