Reinstall Mac Os X El Capitan

Even if you did a clean install of El Capitan it would not explain why you are seeing OS X 10.6.8. OS X 10.6.3/4 was the original system on your computer. Still, it’s hard to know where the 10.6.8 came from, unless Time Machine has been disabled or disconnected for the last 8 years or so. Download El Capitan from the Mac App Store. Head over to your existing OS X environment running 10.9 or later and open the Mac App Store. Search for 'El Capitan' and click Download. The download is completely free if you're running OS X 10.9+. Wait for the download to finish (this could take some time). Format the USB Drive.
