Install older OS X version

Hi,

Im using an Macbook Pro (late 2011) with OS X El Capitan and i want to know if have any way to install an older OS X version, like OS X Mavericks or, principally, OS X Yosemite. I was thinking about to do an Internet recovery and install Mac OS Lion, and so install OS X Yosemite. English is not my first language, so, sorry for any mistakes. Thank you.

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

Thank You for your reply,

I want to do this because i hate this modern design of OS X El Capitan, so i want to go back to OS X Yosemite. I know that Yosemite have the same design, but at least i can use Flavours 2 (an app to change the appearance of the system). I like OS X Mavericks design, but is outdated and some games and apps can't run on this version.

I don't have Yosemite and Mavericks registered on my app store account, but i was wondering if i can download or not.

And yes, im prepared to erase the drive.
