[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1787131, member: 204485"] You know I read that Jake but for some reason I did not absorb the sentace you have quoted, "Having an HFS+ backup of your macOS High Sierra volume is perfectly acceptable, that will function just fine for any future restores, even to an APFS-formatted volume." I guess that answers my question. Erase my Mac HD getting rid of the Bootcamp Partition using the Restore partition on the CCC backup. Reformat as GUID map, APFS (assuming it will let me). Then clone my HFS+ copy back to the Mac HD. In theory that would give me a Mac formatted as APFS with all of my data, settings etc. intact. Or am I missing something? [/QUOTE]
