Q: How to downgrade OSX from macOS Sierra and/or El Capitan?
Hi everyone,
I have a old Macbook Pro Late 2011 13" with 8gb RAM and a 2.4 i5 proc. I would like to install macOS Sierra, at the moment I have Mavericks installed. I always do clean installs.
I wanted to know, if I install macOS Sierra, and I figure I don't like it or it's slowing down my mac a lot, can I downgrade back to Mavericks ? If yes how please ? Using the install USB key I have created to install macOS Sierra ? Using a Time Machine+Time Capsule ?
Is it possible to downgrade from El Capitan too if I decide to install El Capitan instead of macOS Sierra ?
Thanks for your help !
MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

Since you have installed Mavericks on your 2011 MBP, it should be available in your App store account.
Use these guidelines for installing and older OSX:
