What to do:


I. IMPORTANT - Back up your Mac, First:

Always backup, prior to upgrading. So, take this as a Learning experience, knowing to always create a Time Machine backup of your Mac, so that you can have something to restore your Mac from, should anything go wrong with the upgrade.


then...


II. Get High Sierra:

  1. Go Here: How to get old versions of macOS - Apple Support
  2. Scroll to: Download macOS
  3. Select: macOS High Sierra 10.13
  4. Proceed from there as necessary.
