High Sierra installer

[Brendan04]

Hello all.
I have an older 2011 iMac and I’m trying to get High Sierra on it. I originally had it at one point but installed a SSD and had to start from scratch. I have a MacBook Air that im trying to get the High Sierra installer on but I am now being told I can’t DL it as maverick is available instead, but on the same computer I have been able to DL just the installer.

All I want is the installer to then make a bootable drive to then install High Sierra on my iMac.

Hi Brendan,

You can use this link to get High Sierra from the App Store as long as the Mac you are trying to download HS on will run on that version.

If you are able to start Terminal, enter this command:

softwareupdate --list-full-installers

This assumes, of course, that you have an internet connection. If a list of macOS versions comes up, let me know and I will guide you through the installation process.
