Installing fresh macOS | Cannot download additional components
Hello, I have a new MacBook Pro 15" early 2011. I put a new HDD in as it was missing one, it also has no battery, I am using a Power Cable to keep it on.
I have used internet recovery to install macOS onto it, which it attempts to install lion 10.7, this fails and comes with the error 'Could not download additional components needed'. I need help to fix this, as I cannot get past this.
Some fixes I have tried:
I have tried using a bootable drive (USB) with OS on it, my device will not show any external drives in the startup disk section of disk utilities (They show on the actual disk utility). They do not show up when I hold options either.
I have burned OS onto a DVD drive, which does also not show up.
I'm not sure what to do at this point as it will not let me install any Operating System onto it, any help would be much appreciated.
