Mac Book Pro 2011 with failed Radeon GPU.
Reinstalled my OS 10.7.5 through nvram gpu-power-prefs.
Now I don't have Adobe Flash to play back videos. My search on Adobe site seems to suggest availability of Flash for old OS as far as 10.9 (exception developers availability of older versions).

Could Some one tell me if I could obtain Flash for this os ?
If not
Could I Install Mavericks (10.9)?
I attempted to download this OS from Apple to install, but it downloads and and towards the end of the download computer screen freezes. Then I have to go through Command + S to do nvram gnu-power-prefs to get to functioning screen and do not find any download of the OS!!

Do I have to get Maverics installer on a USB from my apple account to install and If that is possible will it allow me to get a functioning flash player?

Thanks for your advice in advance
