Macbook air mid-2012

I have a mid 1012 macbook air 5,2. I changed the ssd since it was very slow. Now I have to instal the macos (os x lion) in the new ssd, but it won't let me install it. I formatted the new drive in "macos extended (journal) ".

It downloads the installer and after a little while, it shows that 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗻'𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗱.

And that's it.

are you using command-option-shift-R internet restore to install the operating system on the SSD?

Do you have a clone backup to another drive somewhere else? Or at least a Time Machine backup?


It is important to note the system time may prevent installation. That is documented here:
