So last night I installed Sierra, I downloaded the installer from the Mac Page then did the installer everything seemed normal then when it finished nothing has happened? It's taken the disk space said my OS system upgraded but i'm still on Mavericks?


Any idea, maybe a restart? but wouldn't it of done that on it's own?

Okay how did you upgrade to macOS Sierra.


Did you visit this page


How to upgrade to macOS Sierra - Apple Support


Did you download InstallOS.dmg to your Downloads folder.


Did you open it to InstallOS.pkg


Did you open that and get an installation window.


Did it say it would take 13.5MBs of disk space.


Did you know that does not install macOS Sierra


Did you know it creates the Install macOS Sierra.app in your Applications folder.


Did you look in your Applications folder.


Double-clicking on Install macOS Sierra.app will launch the OS installation screen.


Did you know that on completion of the install the Install macOS Sierra.app self deletes.


Did you know you should copy the Install macOS Sierra.app to an external drive

in case you need to reinstall Sierra or install it on another mac.
