It all depends on if you intend to use it or just "restore" it.I personally believe you should put the latest OS on it possible for a person to use it.I have El Capitain on USB and still have to follow EXACT directions (on the web) to install it.You do not live near me so I cannot help, only to suggest following online directions exactly, to be sucessfull.DID YOU TRY

I’m not sure where else to turn, so hoping one of you folks can maybe help. I have an Apple MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.8 13" Late 2011 with a new blank HDD. This apparently shipped with MacOS 10.7.2 (Lion) but can run up to 10.13 (High Sierra I believe.) Modern MacOS makes it impossible for me to create a bootable flash drive or DVD for some reason and I only have install disks that go up to MacOS 10.5. Long story short - I need a bootable 10.7.2 DVD or USB drive (up to 10.13 but I’d prefer to restore it to original OS), or original install/recovery disks for this machine, or definitive instructions on how to create one here on a modern Mac. I used to be able to do this easily, but now Disk Utility chokes on the process. Thoughts? _ Bob Shuster
