If your theory is correct, then technically, in context of my original question, in order for me be able to download the full installer I can either: So the current version of High Sierra installed on my mac-which is the latest version, and technically a ‘newer’ version of Mac OS High Sierra in comparison to the one that I originally clean installed-was technically never ‘installed’, but rather upgraded to a newer version? Oh, I see.the current version that I am running-the latest OS High Sierra, w/all security and app updates-is not the version that I originally INSTALLED on the machine (when I upgraded from Sierra to High Sierra by DOWNLOADING the full installer package). And I think that it’s silly that I would need to reesort to a third party patch tool in order to download what I need in order to create the necessary installation media (again, for an operating system that I already have installed on my machine!). Unfortunately, my macbook didn’t make the cut for Mojave, so that is not an option. Why am I unable to download the full installer needed to create a bootable usb for an operating system that I am currently running on a machine that supports it? Am I missing some key, hidden update that I need before I can download the full installer? Or is the full installer just not even a possibility anymore when downloading from app store. I’ve tried about ten times to download the High Sierra Installer from the app store (redirected from link on Apple’s official support page for ‘Creating Installation Media’, since searching for High Sierra installer within app store yields zero results, but that’s a different discussion.), and each time I end up with a 19 mb stub file instead of the full installer. I want to create a bootable usb to clean install my current OS (High Sierra) on a new ssd. App store updates confirms this when I’m logged in to app store. According to system software update, I have no pending updates and am up to date. I’m currently running High Sierra on a mid 2010 macbook.
