Having had to delete my iMac hard drive and reinstal Monterey, in the process I lost a copy of El Capitan which was in a partition. I need this OS as I have my photos catalogued in Media Pro,which will not run on any later OS. I have an external SSD but am not sure where to find a copy to download and instal. Any ideas?

I think you'll need to ask Apple Support for a link. I'm pretty sure most versions are available but hidden on the App Store.
