I bought a used early 2011 Macbook from eBay. The seller did not wipe anything on the system. Me, being new to Macs, erased the hard drive without knowing about not being able to reinstall the OS without the original Apple ID. The OS after erasing the disk was Yosemite. I partitioned it to get to the original OS figuring it would be Snow Leopard, but in Internet Recovery it has Lion listed. Now of course I can't install Lion either without the Apple ID used to purchase it and I can't access the Mac App store to do so because I don't have a Mac nor does anyone I know. I ordered a copy of the Snow Leopard installation CD that should be in tomorrow.
Will I be able to install Snow Leopard or will I have to buy a thumb drive of Lion instead? I'd love to go to the Apple Store to sort it out but there aren't any near me
