I've attempted from VMs of older OS versions to recreate the App Store as it used to be in El Capitan & High Sierra, to see if I could still access the old 'purchase history'. We may need direct links for these, which I don't have at present. Some further testing is required - contributions welcome - to see if other OS versions are similarly removed. Testing the El Capitan installer which has a published URL it will appear in the App Store, but if requested to download no longer says 'not valid for this Mac' it now says 'The requested version of macOS is not available'. Sierra, High Sierra & Mojave are available via direct links - see below. It would appear that in the new Mojave App Store, older purchased OS Installers no longer appear at all, so the 'simple method' of grabbing it from your purchase history is no longer valid.
Some users seem to have managed to skip El Capitan, but High Sierra still seems necessary. This will prepare your machine for the long jump. If you are trying to jump a long way - say from 10.8 to 10.14 or later, received wisdom is to first upgrade to El Capitan 10.11, then High Sierra 10.13. One thing that still applies throughout: you need a Mac to get macOS easily & legitimately. Now that Apple has startup keys to help recovery select multiple versions and official knowledge articles, it might be simpler to first check Apple's own page on How to download macOS (which didn't exist when this Q&A started out), then come back here if you still have issues. Furthermore, there are security fixes baked in this release as well, keeping you nice and secure whenever you are out and about or online.Every year / release this answer on installing previous versions of macOS will need updating. It fixes several issues which users have been facing and improves the overall stability of any Mac the update is running on. It's highly recommended that you go ahead with the installation of this update right now. Looking for the direct Mac App Store link to the update? Just click on the link below and you'll be magically transported to where you want to be.
But I would suggest going ahead with it if your Mac is sitting idle anyway.Ĭlean installing the OS is an option available for everyone but it's a pain to go through. You have the complete option to postpone it for a few hours if you like.
Install macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 Ovet the Air.
