Link to download High Sierra only showing Catalina

Hello,


I have a mid-2011 27' iMac currently running El Cap (10.11). I want to upgrade to High Sierra (10.13) as that's the last OS that will work on it. When I click on the link to download it from here https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT208969


It takes me to my App store, but only offers macOS Catalina and I can't find High Sierra on there.


Is there another way to get it please?


Many thanks

Simon

iMac 27″, macOS 10.12

How to upgrade to macOS High Sierra - Apple Support

Go to Section 4 and click on Get macOs High Sierra

this will redirect you to the App Store High Sierra download page.

It should say Get or Download.


If the App Store says ‘Open’ then it is detecting a previous download of the install app

go to the Applications folder locate Install macOS High Sierra.app.

Move it to the Trash, empty the Trash.

Restart, click on the link again, the App Store should say ‘Get' or 'Download'.
