Hello. It sounds like you already have the High Sierra installer downloaded but there is an issue with it. Go to your Applications folder and delete the High Sierra installer. Then use the link I shared with you to download a fresh copy from Apple. After doing this, try running the upgrade again.


Please also be sure to backup your data before upgrading.
