how to install Lion on macbook pro 2012 purchased in 2015 with yosemite

Hi to everyone. First time here 🙂 very happy

We have a Macbook Pro 13 mid 2012 purchased this year, and the os x installed is yosemite.

But we need a software that only works with Lion 10.7.x

Is possible to install?

Using internet recovery install yosemite 😟

We had installed Mavericks, but that's all.

Forbidden icon if we try to install Lion from an external drive.

Any idea?

Thanks a lot!

MacBook Pro, null

Solved! with 10.7.5 installer everything works fine

Impossible using early version of Lion


Step by step:

1. Install Mavericks (with external installer usb/hd)

2. Go to App Store - log with your Apple ID

3. Purchased tab and download Lion

4. Create a USB installer using DMG into App Lion downloaded and the Disk Utility

5. Reboot and install Lion 10.7.5 on new Macbook Pro 13 mid 2012 purchased in 2015


Bye bye!
