Hi, I have a MacBook Air 2017
I’m unhappy with Mac OS 12, I have tried downloading the installers for macOS 11 macOS Catalina macOS Mojave macOS High Sierra and all of those files but no
None of them seem to want to install on my drive
is there a way I can install Mac West without using a bootable disc image or bootable disc drive in the first place because I’d rather not use my 2 TB hard drive because I use that for windows
Or is there a way I could install a completely different operating system on it for the whole installing the operating system entire new operating system thing if you guys have any suggestions about that contact me privately because I don’t want my account
But for downgrading macOS can somebody give me any tips

If mac west? Is the latest version, it probably won't instal on your mac if its old.

That's one of the problems with mac, if you have an older version, as far as I understand, you can't instal the latest OS on them.

I believe you can instal linux on a mac but don't ask me how because I have no idea.

Hi Dominic. Just wonder if you have managed that or not?
I've been using Mac OS for about 10 years or so, both with Mac OS Intel-bassed and now I'm using a Mac M2. I have some experience that might be of helpful.
Please let me know what specifically you want to do (upgrading, downgrading, or going all the way back the the original OS your Mac came with). I may be able to help.

It’s a 2017 Mac, it was released I think in June so it will support Maco Sierra. I want to downgrade to that version, since it’s probably going to be the most stable and most best for performance

I just searched up when it was released and I think it was released in June 2017, but was support MOS Sierra
I’ve tried downloading the Mac Avah Sierra EmOr and ŘƏHÄŇ to work
