USB boot on mid 2010 Intel Mac mini I have a mid 2010 Mac mini. I recently did an SSD upgrade in it. I tried using Internet Recovery to reinstall Mac OS X Lion (after which I am planning to upgrade further).

However, the setup never downloads for me saying The item is not currently available.

Do I have the choice of USB boot? If not, is there a way to fix the error itself?
macOS High Sierra 10.13 is the last supported release of macOS for Mid 2010 Intel Mac Mini.
