Installing macOS High Sierra on a MacBook Air

Are you looking to install macOS High Sierra on your MacBook Air? One way to do this is by using a thumb drive. I can attest to this method, as it's how I installed High Sierra on my own 2015 MacBook Air and have had no issues since.

My specific setup includes a 2.2GHz i7 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 512GB NVMe M.2 storage drive. I'm currently running High Sierra OS 10.13.5 beta, and so far, I've experienced no issues with the operating system.

To create a bootable macOS High Sierra installer drive, follow these steps:

1. Download the macOS High Sierra installer from Apple's website.

2. Use a USB thumb drive or external hard drive to store the installer.

3. Format the thumb drive or hard drive as APFS, the file system used by macOS.

4. Copy the macOS High Sierra installer to the formatted drive.

5. Restart your MacBook Air and hold down the Option (⌥) key while booting up.

6. Select the USB thumb drive or external hard drive containing the installer from the startup screen.

7. Follow the on-screen instructions to install macOS High Sierra.

In addition to installing the operating system, you'll also gain access to new features like Sidecar, which allows you to use your iPad as a second Mac display. You'll also get smart new features in apps you use every day, such as music, TV, and podcasts.

When you upgrade to macOS Catalina, you'll get even more of everything you love about Mac, including dedicated apps for music, TV, and podcasts.

In conclusion, installing macOS High Sierra on your MacBook Air using a thumb drive is a straightforward process that can be completed with ease. By following these steps, you'll be able to upgrade your operating system and enjoy all the latest features that come with it.
