Oct 2, 2016 7:32 PM in response to cnedza1by cnedza1,I looked on the app store for el capitan and the only upgrade I can find is for sierra. When searching for el capitan, it only gives tutorials and the like and no way to "get" el Capitan. am I missing something?

If you already have a copy of El Capitan then move it to the Applications folder. If you ever downloaded El Capitan in the past, then you can re-download it from your Purchases page in the App Store.
