Not too familiar with Macs. Was given a Macbook Pro from 2014 i7 processor. Since it was a school machine that was being thrown away there is no hard drive but I will be supplying my own. With that in mind, Does anyone know of a way to get Mac OSX either downloaded or a disc? I know with Windows it's super easy to accomplish this.
Any help is appreciated.
MacBook Pro
Its sounds like you got a 'new' mac, So, try this
Press the "Command" + "Option" + "R" Keys at the same time, when it says "Starting internet recovery" You can stop
Choose "Disk Utility" when it boots up and says "MacOS utility's"
Then erase the disk thats inside the machine,
The click the red circle in the corner of the window, and then choose, "Reinstall MacOS"
Follow the instructions, And your good to go!

Start it up with the Option, Command, and R keys held down.

Yeah as in 2012/2013. Will definitely try this out. Do you know if I need any internet connection?
Yes, you need an internet connection to connect to the internet.
Thanks for the assist. I was able to complete the reinstall however I am not able to sign in with my iCloud account on the device. I did confirm it was working by logging in online.
Any ideas?
Yes, you need an internet connection
Id contact apple, did you try reastarting the machine?
Oh and also, If you want, you can install boot camp so you can run windows alongside macos :D
