QUESTION: It's installing El Capitan on the new SSD but right before my mini died it was using the latest version of High Sierra. So, do I need to update the OS before attempting to restore from my TIme Machine backup?
Yes, you'll need to install the new OS.
You can't migrate from Time Machine to a lesser version of the OS than was used to make the backup.
