There is no cost for any Apple operating system. There are, however, limitations as to which versions or upgrades may be installed on a specific year model. We can not install any operating system below the one the Mac originally came with.
I am third owner to this Macbook and I did a hard disk erase on it when I purchased unaware that I had to have the original owners apple id to reinstall the program that came with it. Also, because of its age it does not offer the internet recovery mode. Therefore, I was told that I had to purchase the mac os x lion 10.7 from the apple store. But, I cannot buy it from the Mac itself for obvious reasons so I have to purchase it from my HP. During the recovery process of reinstalling the mac os x lion 10.7 in disk utility it asks for verification and will not install under my apple id because I dont have that program on my purchase history, I assume? But if I purchase it under my apple id I have to do it from my HP. Will I be able to reinstall it without complications or is there any other necessary steps I need to take to reinstall it on the Mac after the purchase?
Mac OS X Lion and Mountain Lion are not free, they are both available on the Apple Online Store for $20-00
or equivalent. All Mac OS X's and macOS's from Mavericks onwards are free.
