How to Download Apple macOS High Sierra 10.13

The highly anticipated release of macOS High Sierra has finally arrived! After a summer beta program, this new operating system is now available for download from the Mac App Store. Before you start your upgrade journey, it's essential to understand the process and potential issues you might encounter.

Firstly, even if you decide to create a clone of your existing data, we strongly recommend creating a Time Machine backup as well. This is crucial, especially if the clone is your only copy of your data. You can use Carbon Copy Cloner or other popular cloning tools to perform this task.

The upgrade process involves backing up your current data with Time Machine, erasing and reformatting the affected drive(s), installing macOS High Sierra, and then migrating your backed-up data to the fresh install. Apple provides detailed instructions for using Time Machine as the backup app.

Unfortunately, if you converted a Fusion drive during the beta testing, you need to revert it back to HFS+ before installing macOS High Sierra. Apple has chosen not to provide any tools to revert the file system. Additionally, APFS (Apple File System) is only available for Macs using SSDs (Solid State Drives), and not for all configurations.

If you were a beta tester, you may encounter more difficulties during the upgrade process, depending on whether you installed the new APFS during the beta testing. It's always a good idea to have a current backup in place before upgrading to any new or updated operating system.

With this in mind, here are some common problems you might encounter when upgrading to macOS High Sierra:

* Issues with APFS conversion

* Problems with Fusion drive reversion

* Potential file system corruption

Despite these potential issues, we're grateful that new versions of the operating system go through an extensive beta process. However, it's always possible for a few surprises to pop up during the upgrade.

With macOS High Sierra now available for download from the Mac App Store, get ready to experience the latest and greatest from Apple!
