The internet recovery would have the old previous OS X or even older right?

Well if it ends up being the case the OS can be updated using the apple app store and clicking on Mac OS x Sierra upgrade there.

@benjamen50 With a new drive an internet recovery is going to install the original OS X the machine shipped with. But you have to have a system installed to get to the APP store.

It wouldn’t work to put High Sierra on a new drive wich has a original installed OS X done through recovery. It will usually ask you to install OS X 10.8. It won’t allow you to jum straight to Hugh Sierra OSX 10.13

On my MacBook Pro with OSX 10.13I had a 240gb Solid state hard drive, but I needed bigger!

So I got a new Kensington 480gb SSD.

During formatting and installation, OSX 10.7.5 is automatically installed can’t do anything about it!

I wanted to install High Sierra it wouldn’t allow me until I installed OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion!
