Maybe you want to roll back your Mac to an earlier version of macOS than the one you currently have installed?<\/p>\n<p>While the process is pretty straightforward, getting your hands on older releases of macOS isn\u2019t so easy.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Before_You_Start\"><\/span>Before You Start<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s important to understand that not all versions of macOS (or Mac OS X) work with all hardware configurations. It\u2019s common knowledge that new macOS releases often drop support for older hardware, but the same is true for newer Mac models and older software, too.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you cannot install any version of macOS prior to Big Sur (released in 2020) on a Mac with an Apple Silicon chip, including the M1. Older versions were written for Intel chips, which use the x86_64 instruction set, while the newer Apple Silicon chips use the ARM instruction set.<\/p>\n<p>Your Mac\u2019s \u201cearliest\u201d supported version of macOS is the one that it came with. If you\u2019re not sure what your Mac came with, head to Apple Support and search for your exact model. You can find out which Mac you have by clicking on the Apple logo in the top-left corner and selecting \u201cAbout This Mac\u201d to see the name and year of release.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-706645\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/mac_model_name.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"The Mac model name and year is listed in the &quot;About This Mac&quot; window.\" width=\"650\" height=\"363\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re willing, you can install newer versions of macOS than your Mac supports with tools like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/BenSova\/Patched-Sur\">Patched Sur<\/a>. After trying this, you might come to the conclusion that newer releases perform too poorly on your hardware, at which point, you\u2019ll need to roll back.<\/p>\n<p>This guide can help you roll back to almost any version of macOS. If you do decide to try a new version of macOS and you\u2019re reliant on Time Machine for your backups, resist backing up with Time Machine until you\u2019re sure that it\u2019s where you want to stay.<\/p>\n<p>Older versions of macOS might experience problems restoring from Time Machine backups made on subsequent releases. For example, trying to restore a Time Machine backup made in Big Sur (released in 2020) in macOS Catalina (released in 2019) could prove difficult.<\/p>\n<p>You can get around this by using a third-party backup tool like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bombich.com\">Carbon Copy Cloner<\/a> or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.econtechnologies.com\">ChronoSync<\/a>. As a last resort, you could manually back up your important documents, libraries, and so on to an external drive. We\u2019d recommend test-driving any experimental macOS installations for a while before you commit.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Download_Older_Versions_of_macOS\"><\/span>Where to Download Older Versions of macOS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can download most older versions of macOS using the Mac App Store or direct links to Apple\u2019s website. Unfortunately, Apple doesn\u2019t index the Mac App Store entries so that you can search for them in the app. To get them, you\u2019ll need to follow direct links, which we\u2019ve listed below.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-738269\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/macos_sierra_mas.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"macOS Sierra Installer\" width=\"650\" height=\"346\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"admonishment_note\"><p><strong>Note:<\/strong> If you have trouble getting these links to work, first, make sure that you\u2019re using Safari, and then try closing the Mac App Store and clicking on the link again.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mac_App_Store_Links_for_Older_macOS_Downloads\"><\/span>Mac App Store Links for Older macOS Downloads<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once any of these downloads finishes,\u00a0<strong>do not<\/strong> open the installer to begin the installation.

First, the installer might contain malware. Second, there are legal concerns: OS X is still copyrighted software. Even if you own a license, you might not be able to legally download it in your jurisdiction. If you can, you might not be able to legally use BitTorrent to download it, as your BitTorrent client will be uploading parts of OS X to other people during the download process.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reinstalling_an_Older_Version_of_macOS\"><\/span>Reinstalling an Older Version of macOS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Creating a bootable USB stick is necessary to install an older version of macOS. You can use this drive multiple times in different machines, throw it in a drawer for next time, or erase it when you\u2019re done and make a new one when it\u2019s time to reinstall again.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prepare_Your_USB_Drive\"><\/span>Prepare Your USB Drive<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Apple recommends a USB drive that\u2019s formatted as Mac OS Extended, with 14GB of free space for the latest versions of macOS.

Locate the drive in the sidebar, click on it, and then click \u201cErase\u201d and give it a name. In the drop-down box, select \u201cMac OS Extended (Journaled),\u201d and then click \u201cErase\u201d to start the process.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_a_Bootable_USB_in_Terminal\"><\/span>Create a Bootable USB in Terminal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019ll be using Terminal to create the USB drive, so launch it via Spotlight or locate the app in your Applications &gt; Utilities folder. You can use a single command to create your installation medium, but this differs depending on which version of macOS you\u2019re trying to install.<\/p>\n<p>This assumes that you\u2019re installing Big Sur, that your drive is labeled \u201cmacos_installer,\u201d and that you have the relevant macOS installer in your Applications folder:<\/p>\n<p><code>sudo \/Applications\/Install macOS Big Sur.app\/Contents\/Resources\/createinstall<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> --volume \/Volumes\/macos_installer<\/code><\/p>\n<p>You can change various parts of this command to suit your own circumstances, with the main one being the name of the installer. Be aware that any spaces will need to be preceded by a backslash. For example, \u201cInstall macOS High Sierra.app\u201d would become <code>Install macOS High Sierra.app<\/code>\u00a0in this context.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s another example that creates a macOS High Sierra install USB on a drive named \u201cMacOS Installer\u201d:<\/p>\n<p><code>sudo \/Applications\/Install macOS High Sierra.app\/Contents\/Resources\/createinstallmedia --volume \/Volumes\/MacOS Installer<\/code><\/p>\n<p>You can run the <code>ls<\/code> command to list all connected volumes, which will include your USB installation medium in case you need to check the label.<\/p>\n<p>Once you hit Enter, you\u2019ll need to enter your admin password to approve the command, and then hit \u201cY\u201d on your keyboard to confirm that you\u2019re OK with the contents of the USB drive being overwritten.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Install_macOS_from_Scratch\"><\/span>Install macOS from Scratch<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once your installation files have been copied, it\u2019s time to install macOS from scratch.
