2009 MacBook Pro crashed while upgrading OS
Decided to upgrade my 2009 Macbook pro 15" to El Capitan 10.15
It froze at the window: "...calculating time remaining..."
The next day, I forced shut down with power switch.
Now when I turn it on, it starts with the error message in several languages about not shutting down properly, I get the grey screen with apple logo momentarily, then it goes black. (Repeated this several times.)
I have a Time Machine backup on an external drive. Any way to put it back the way it was?
Thanks!
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

If possible to boot the apple diagnostic, try checking your HDD and hardware too.

Thanks for the replies.
1) It was running OS 10.11.6
2) How do I boot the apple diagnostic? Whenever I turn it on, I get the grey screen that lasts a few moments with error message, then apple logo, then it goes black again (I think it powers off; not sure about that.)

do you have your original OS disk around?
