The full installer for macOS High Sierra does not download as a .dmg file it downloads as Install macOS High Sierra.app

directly to your Applications folder.


Here is how to get it.


Open Safari and click on this link, 


How to get old versions of macOS – Apple Support


Go to the Download OS section and click on macOS High Sierra.

This will redirect you to the App Store High Sierra download page,

it should say Get or Download. This will download the full installer app to your

Applications folder it is about 5.23GBs in size.


Before upgrading make a full back up of your Mac.


Check that third party apps you use have updates available for the new OS.

Check that your printers/ scanners etc have updated drivers and software available for the new OS.


Connect your mac to your router via cable rather than rely on WiFi.

Do not use your mac while it is downloading

and do not use any other devices that share the same internet connection.


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'.
