Well...I got tired of all of the reminders that High Sierra was available, so I gave in. I made a CCC back up immediately prior to then install. Since I had a fresh back up, I just installed from the App Store. When the install was done and it went thru the reboot, it took forever for the screen to come up. The dock was there, but it took some time fore the bar at the top of the screen to appear. I checked About this Mac, and to my surprise it showed El Capitan...not High Sierra. I shut it down and turned it back on...same thing. On the next attempt, I noticed the external HD that had my back up was flashing furiously. I checked About my Mac again, and it showed my External drive as the boot drive. Shut it down...again...unplugged the external drive and turned it on again. I get the chime, a brief white/gray screen, then the Apple and status bar. Screen goes black with the mouse in the upper left hand corner. Plugged the external back in and checked the disc utility. My SSD and external drives both show up.
