I can’t reinstall my mac to el capitan I was following some instructions and they told me to press command + R and then it lead me this (OS X utilities), so I tried to reinstall it, but then it says that this item is temporarily unavailable, So I tried researching almost everything om how ti fix this, But none worked, is it because my mac is still in el capitan? i’ve read somewhere that it’s already gone a long time ago, so please help me how to fix this.
