Hello my older iMac Late 2011 run the original OS 10.7.

I want to reinstall Lion because High Sierra design is not good and the internet recovery not working. I want to download Lion on my High Sierra Mac and copy to usb.

the iMac 2011 but the App Store won't let me download it to my mac.

How I can download from App Store for free the original OS 10.7.5 (the last Lion version)?

In my apple account (purchase) is not 10.7 lion here.

Actually, instead of Lion, I'd suggest Snow Leopard (10.6) as a better OS.
 
Oops, you're right, Gregg.

It's just that I always regarded Lion as "not one of the best versions of OS X", I guess.

Then again, 10.8 (Mountain Lion) might be worth a try.
