Hello Charleswoodard,


Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities. We understand that when trying to reinstall macOS you're seeing an alert that the Apple ID you're entering hasn't been used in the App Store yet. Are you using the same Apple ID you originally used to install this version of macOS, as that's what you'll need to use. If so, are you able to continue if you choose "Review"?


Just in case, here's more information about reinstalling macOS from macOS Recovery: How to reinstall macOS


Keep us posted.


Take care.
