Help sorting Macbook Pro 2011

[Megahurtz400]

Hi all,

Will preface by saying I don't have much experience with OSX devices

I have a MacBook Pro which it seems the OSX partition has completely died. It has windows installed on a separate partition (not bootcamp).

When I boot it up, it just hangs then goes straight into the windows partition. I can't boot into recovery mode using Option + R or anything like that.

Does anyone know how i'd be able to get this sorted?

Is it possible to make an bootable USB with OSX on it from a windows machine and reinstall OSX? Or would I need to source another Mac to do this from?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

15 day trial of Transmac should help.

Then follow;

It will be the same for the latest high Sierra OS.

How would I boot from a bootable USB on the Macbook if I can't get into recovery mode or boot manager?

I think it’s the option key or control key to boot too the usb media, hold it down on startup.
