IT WORKS and its easy, and well documented and it allowed me to clone my external High SIerra to my Mac via HFS+ files system on an SSD, NOT APFS - which I dont know that much about yet.Ī Pure install, via the DosDude patcher tool would do an automatic conversion of the selected install partition to APFS.

Yes, The website, looks pants/geeky/dated (a la DosDude1, very similar but NOT the same people)Īnd the App interface is …rather windows/90’s looking Which, to be honest about, I had never really heard of.Ĭarbon Copy Cleaner, Yep, and used in the past on PPC macs,Īpple Disk Utility imaging, Yep, done that several times, I understand it is more efficient and space saving for SSD etc BUT… it will render a chunk of my hard drive - unreadable to other Native, installed OS’s. Then after some time and a bit of partitioning, a few months ago I installed and set up Snow Leopard, AND El Capitan Dual boot on my MBP’s internal SSD.īut NOW… High Sierra …which I got to install externally on a good ol, spinning Disk, external hard drive, will reformat any SSD (which I have installed in my MBP) to the new, apple proprietry, APFS file system! Having achieved the Apple Induced impossible via his patcher, I managed to install both Sierra and High Sierra to an external HDD. I honestly have no idea where he finds the time! He is also very active and friendly on various support channels and actually replies to many help requests. Watch my channel to see everything about computers and electronics, such as repairs, mods, system overviews, and reviews.

So you CAN install both Sierra and High Sierra, following this Excellent chaps tutorial and advice OH! but MID 2009 is ok -these machines CAN run High/Sierra! no logic, not based on Hardware requirements, no insurmountable DDR3 memory barrier separating the systems requirements etc as some internet posters ascertain. Their planned obsolescence policy means I am supposed to now throw it away> I am running an older, UNSUPPORTED mac, with regards to both Sierra and High Sierra,Īnd Apple say I CAN’T install it and run it on my old mac.
