How to download High Sierra

I am running macOS 10.12.6 and want to upgrade to High Sierra.

I managed to open the link https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/macos-high-sierra/id1246284741?mt=12 and "download" High Sierra. Actually the link opens App store and the High Sierra icon says 'open'. When I click it I get an error message saying: This copy of the install is damaged and can't be used to install. See attached screenshot.


How can I get High Sierra?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.12

If you get a corrupted message...

Naw, not damaged, it's just that you have an old copy already in Applications, there are 2 cures...


Disconnect from the Internet & set the Date back to 2014, then you can run the Install MacsOS High Sierra App in Applications, so expired Certificates are not expired.


Or... trash the Install MacsOS High Sierra.app in Applications, empty trash & restart, then a new copy of a more recent version can be downloaded…
