[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1853792, member: 110816"] The way Macs work you can only downgrade (re-install) the OS that it came with. El Capitan was released on 2015, Sierra in 2016 and High Sierra in 2017. So a 2017-vintage Mac came with either Sierra or High Sierra and will not allow anything prior to be installed, that's just the way it is. If 32-bit apps are your limitation, a valid one it is, then you show downgrade to Mojave and stay with that for a while. That way, you can continue using your 32-bit apps and you are on a supported version of macOS for your other applications for some time to come. You shouldn't drop down 3+ releases because while the 32-bit apps will work, other apps, like your Browser or something else might not be happy. [/QUOTE]
