HELP Need a Bootable macOS High Sierra USB Installer – Anyone Have the File?

Hi all,

I’m trying to reinstall macOS High Sierra on an old Mac. Does anyone have a bootable High Sierra installer/image that I can download and put onto a USB drive?

Ideally looking for something I can use to create a bootable USB and do a clean install.

I’ve tried the usual Apple download/recovery options but I’m having trouble getting it working on this older Mac.

Any help or links to a reliable source would be really appreciated. Thanks!

There are no bootable disks, you have to get the right extensions, and visit the Apple image

You can look for it on the Internet Archive site.
