Trying to fresh install after new SSD fit?
Hi again all,
Got a 2011 21.5” iMac which I’ve just fitted an SSD into and now I’m trying to get any OS on it not just Lion which it is trying to get from Apple.
I only get the message unable to download all the nescessary files. I’ve had a look around the net and alot of people are saying set the clock back. tried this via terminal and set it back to just before and just after build date to no avail.
I have tried internet restore with WiFi and Ethernet-no joy! I only have windows PC to get other software! any ideas people…….please!
Esta é uma boa pergunta?

i honestly dont know, but what i did when i installed a new ssd in my 2014 21 inch iMac i just made a macos Big Sur butable USB wich is easy to do you just need another mac to do it with, the notable USB can be of any os that you want to use or that your mac supports even apple has an article on how to do this after you have the USB drive just hold the option key after pressing the power button and then select the USB then eras and format the SSD in disk utility and then go back and click reinstall macOS and then all you need to do is wait, I would look up a youtube video on how to do this, it's not that hard so yeah hopefully I can help you out. lol, this is the first question I answer.
