Im writing to consult how to install OSX EL Capitan on a new brand 21.5 iMac. I tried everything, since yesterday with no luck. I changed successfully the date on Terminal (in boot recovery), but after that it gives only the option to reinstall Catalina. I have a carbon copy image of El Capitan from another older iMac, and, the installer, but this last is impossible to execute. and doesn't appear in Boot recovery.
Any help and assistance will be greatly appreciated. I feel very frustrate, cause I contacted Apple before buying to make sure it is possible to downgrade to OSX 10.11. and the assured it was no problem..
This would never had happened with Steve Jobs.. Planned Obsolescence is getting worst every year!!
If you have any tips for installing an OSX before Catalina it will save ma day! and the return of the iMac. Thanks in advance!
