Thus, I can get High Sierra the normal way (would have been possible via selecting 'Featured' too) - but I have no idea why App Store works so strange on my normal (administrative, every-day) user account.įull macOS's are never listed in the Updates section of the App Store, you download them via the Featured page in the App Store, you will find High Sierra. And then always migrated my user account.Īnd writing the sentence before I realized I should look into App Store from another user account: Switched to another Standard-User, opened App Store - and there it is, I am offered High Sierra. Later I updated to El Capitan but that system I transferred on a USB-stick from the MB to the MBP. I believe this 'misbehavior' started when I 'hide'ed Yosemite when being on Mavericks. (At least here even a non-supported MB late-2008 Aluminum on El Capitan got shown Sierra, now High Sierra). It fulfills the requirements for Sierra / High Sierra, but I don't get these OS's shown in the offered Updates list, which normally is the case (of course, only one of them) Now I get everything (?) but the new OS's. When it’s done, you’ll have High Sierra on your Mac.What I mean: I want back the normal behavior that App Store shows all available Updates. Your Mac will restart and proceed with the installation.If you have other applications open, the installer will ask to close those apps.The installer will tell you it needs to restart the Mac to proceed.Enter this information and click Add Helper. You must enter the username and password for the new “helper tool” that the installer wants to install.

Select your Mac’s startup drive and click Install.Read the software license agreement and click Agree.It will be saved to your Applications folder. You can quit (Command-Q) if you want to run the installer later. When the download finishes, the installer will automatically launch.When you’re ready, click the Download button at the upper left. This should bring you to the High Sierra section of the App Store, and you can read Apple’s description of the new OS there.You can also do a search, but you’ll probably find it in the top marquee carousel or somewhere in the Features section of the store. Look for macOS High Sierra in the App Store.Launch the App Store app, located in your Applications folder.
