Note, you cannot install El Capitan on top of Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave, or Catalina. You can use internet restore, after backing up your data to install 10.8 then 10.11 if you are running 10.12 or later.
If you are running 10.13 or later, you need to reformat the drive HFS Extended Journalled if it was formatted APFS before you can install anything older than 10.13.
