[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1807653, member: 396914"] Patrick, if you follow the sequence that led to this dilemma, the drive was wiped accidentally, probably formatted to HFS+ in that process, then restored from a Time Machine backup. So it was not then bootable because of the HFS+. Had he reinstalled the OS instead of restoring it, it would have converted the external drive. I have one done that way as a backup bootable clone. So Apple *did* include the feature and it does work. Just in this case, the sequence of events led to a non-bootable HFS+ restored external drive that now needs to be converted to APFS. [/QUOTE]
