why is internet recovery installing monterey?
Hi folks. Oldish Macbook Pro. I just had the battery replaced through the genius bar and it came back with an apparently fatal keychain error... argh. Anyway.
Trying to reinstall from backup. Erased the hard drive, fine. But going through internet recovery only gives me the option to install Monterey, not - as I expected/wanted - the OS that it shipped with (which I think was Mavericks). What I *want*/need is High Sierra, which I could get to by upgrading from there. That's the OS that my backup has, but that is not installing.
Ideas/help? Thanks!
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.6
