I have a MacMini (Mid 2011) running OSX 10.7.5 (Lion) with the Server software.

I have finally managed to move all the customers off it to a hosted server so it is time to upgrade the OS. I started the Sierra install but saw a message that is I want to transfer the Server services I should first upgrade to 10.10 (Yosemite). So I exited the install and began looking for the Yosemite installer. I downloaded a Combo Updater but it is not a complete Yosemite installer but just an update for existing Yosemite installations. I can't find a comlete Yosemite installer anywhere.

I kinda gave up and thought I'd start with a fresh install of Sierra and set up the services manually. But now App Store reports that Sierra is 'Installed', even though it quite clearly is not.

Anyone got a clue as to how to get out of this mongolian clusterstuffup?

Ideally I'd like to find a Yosemite installer. But I'd settle for getting it to recognise that Sierra isn't installed and let me install it instead.
[doublepost=1478406137][/doublepost]As usual, as soon as a I post a question I seem to find the answer.

I looked in my Purchased list in App Store and Yosemite is listed there and available for download. I'll let you know how I get on. I won't be surprised if it won't let me because it thinks Sierra is installed.
