I have a mid 2012 Macbook Pro that had a disk crash. Unfortunatly, there is no backup available. So, I have installed a new SSD. I need to download an OS, and make a bootable USB to reinstall. I think Sierra was the version I had. Do I need an ISO file, or what? So far I have tried several downloads, created the USB and booted the MacBook pro only to have the install hang.
Not sure where to go.
MacBook Pro 13″
