Sierra On Unsupported For Hackintosh Download MacOS High

I successfully installed the macOS Mountain Lion (when using the NetBoot it automatically selects the version of macOS with which the iMac was shipped with).

But then I was facing multiple issues trying to update macOS from Mountain Lion to High Sierra via the Mac App Store.

The Mac rebooted, and it seemed that everything was going well, but it was not.

Sierra On Unsupported For Hackintosh Download MacOS High

Attempting to download macOS High Sierra from the Mac App Store I found that a small 19 MB version of the Install macOS High Sierra.app file downloads to the Applications folder, rather than the complete 5.2 GB installer file.

Thats the problem.

Additionally, it does not allow me to create a macOS High Sierra USB installer drive for use on multiple computers.

For our purposes in this particular walkthrough, we will use the app only to download the complete installer file.

If you are not comfortable with using unvetted and unverified software, do not follow this process.

So you most likely will get an alert message that says: macOS High Sierra Patcher.app cant be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.

Now you have the complete Install macOS High Sierra.app file downloaded.

So simple isnt it.

The complete installer should be around 5.2 GB rather than the tiny 19 MB incomplete installer that requires additional downloads.

Therefore, you may want to make a backup by having previously copied it to external storage.
