If the Command-R really doesn't work, the recovery partition might be damaged or missing.


If that is the case, I'd download the Mojave installer (and hope I get the ~6GB full installer, not the tiny stub installer) and make an USB startup disk from that.

Or use the Internet Recovery option by booting via Option-Command-R.
