Q: restore snow leopard from time machine made on el capitan
My iMac is toast. I have a MacBook Pro, oldish but supported for El Capitan. I want to move everything from my El Capitan Time Machine, including the OS, to the MacBook Pro. Instructions for doing this involve booting from a recovery partition, or an internet equivalent. But the Snow Leopard OS does not appear to support these approaches. How to I boot in order to be able to restore?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7)

You will have to first upgrade the Snow Leopard to El Capitan from the App Store.
Then use your time machine to migrate your user / el cap data using the Migration assistant.
~/Applications/Utilities/Migration Assistant.app
