Q: Update to El Captian "Hash Mismatch"

I recently bought a MacbookPro 2012 running on Lion 10.7.5. I have all the old stuff wiped and there is no storage used up. When i try to download El Captain from the App Store it will start the download then give me a error saying "This application failed to download: Hash Mismatch". Has anyone had this problem or a way to fix this. Thank you.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Hi..

Since this is a used Mac, you may not be able to upgrade to El Capitan because of an ownership issue.

The 2012 MacBook Pro came with Lion:
