My 2010 27” iMac got bricked a few upgrades ago.
I’d like to wait until the second ARM cycle before upgrading my 2013 MBP.
I miss being able to pull a CD off the shelf and doing a fresh install.

If you have older hardware (as old as 2007), you can download Yosemite, El Capitan or Sierra from Apple’s website [1] or the App Store. Note that using those images requires access to a working Mac, or at least a Mac with working (Internet) Recovery, although doing it in Recovery is complicated and requires some tricks [2], because Apple can’t just make a simple DMG you could mount (or image a drive with) and install directly.
