Yeah, I need to get a bootable installer for the newer version which 
I don't have yet. I only have their downloaded apps from App Store. I 
need to get another Mac to make them. Unless I can do them in 64-bit 
Windows 7 and Linux/Debian (Jessie/stable) which I doubt? I am quite 
limited in Macs these days since I no longer work for the company that 
let me work on a newer Macs. :(

However, I just found an old burned v10.8.2/Mountain Lion DVD+R DL disc 
I made from 2012. I could use these too. :D Although, I'm not sure if 
this old MBP can read dual layer DVD+Rs?
