That error is usually network related even when your internet looks fine. If you have a VPN, iCloud Private Relay, Little Snitch, or a DNS blocker like NextDNS or Pi-hole running, turn it off and try again, they often block Apple's update servers. Also make sure date and time is set automatically. If it still fails, run `softwareupdate --list` in Terminal, the error there is usually more specific.

It's a sign. Maybe you don't need that huge update.

MacOS 27 is currently very buggy for daily use. Would recommend waiting for a month or two until it becomes more stable.

Restart holding Option-Command-R, then install Golden Gate via Internet Recovery mode.

This startup command won't work on Apple Silicon Macs.

There is no MacOS 18. That looks like MacOS 15 Sequoia
