[QUOTE="giantjack, post: 1839759, member: 403773"] This is not working at all. I have downloaded the Install macOS High Sierra file (5.24gb), I run the DiskMaker X 7 for High Sierra program, confirm the disk. Select my drive (USB), enter my password. No process screen shows and after a few seconds my drive appears on desktop. Open the directory and it shows the same Install macOS High Sierra file but at 79.8 MB. No window is showing from DiskMaker X 7 for High Sierra. I thought maybe it's running but not showing the window but the file does not increase in size. So whatever happened has finished and it's not as it should be looking at videos on Youtube. I like to think of myself as a patient guy working on this for well over 10 hours now but I am getting close to calling it a day, there are so many hoops that shouldn't be there. The fact Apple don't provide the full version shows that they simple don't want anyone using it/and or old hardware. I understand from a business perspective but I doubt I'll be buying another Macbook again. I know what I'm seeing is an issue with the software that is not related to Apple but there should not be any reason to have to go through so many hoops just to install an old OS.
