I'm trying to get a copy of the High Sierra installer to update a 2011 MacBook Pro 17", but the link at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211683 just opens the App Store and then I get a popup saying "Cannot Connect to App Store" (I can browse the App store for other apps, so I am connected to the Internet OK)
MacBook Pro 17″, OS X 10.11
Open the link in Safari, other browsers won't work.

Thanks. This solves the question I asked, but not the one I meant to ask, which is "where can I download the full installer for High Sierra?" I'm trying to do a clean install, without having to download both the original OS and High Sierra, so I will investigate other ways to do that.
You're welcome. I assume you figured out that is the full installer.
Yes, I had the online installer (18MB) already downloaded, so the store page was just trying to open that, but after deleting that it's now downloading the full 4.8GB version. Thanks again.
You're welcome.
Where to download High Sierra installer?
