After erasing the SSD on a 2011 MacBook Air to reinstall the OS, the only alternative is to format the drive as APFS. Apparently this is because it had an APFS OS installed previously. However, when downloading the OS, it comes up as 10.7, Lion. Lion can't install on an APFS formatted drive. So I am in a Catch-22 situation.
I'd appreciate any ideas on how to proceed. TIA.

Found a way to resolve this. Options-Command R eventually allows formatting the HD in a Lion-compatible format.

PS When Lion tries to install and select the disk where to install the OS, the window is blank. That is what leads me to suspect an OS/drive format issue.
