Sure, MMLI, I’d be delighted to help you. If you make sure that an ethernet cableIt’s plugged into your MacBook Pro, shut it down and reboot, holding down Option, command, and R keys together. That should get you into Internet recovery and you should see a spinning globe on your screen and a progress bar and in time, It will reinstall the OS. Otherwise, go with a USB drive or stick, plus you Will need to borrow another Mac to download a copy of the OS,And to make a bootable installer USB drive or stick. There are various free applications out there that will let you do this.
