Will not let me download OS X after clearing hard drive

Hi, I have been given an older MacBook Pro and I have cleared the hard drive using Disk Utility and Erased Macintosh HD.

Now the problem is if I now try to “Reinstall OS X” it comes up with OS X El Capitan, I click on this and it prompts that “your computer eligibility will be verified by Apple” I click Continue and then get “an Error occurred while preparing the installation try running this application again” message.

I have tried restarting this and using an Ethernet lead instead of Wi-Fi but I cannot get it to do anything apart from this.

Any help would be amazing please.

Thanks, Jake

Hopefully this helps

Any questions please ask

Thanks:-)
