Does anyone know where to download a 10.12 installer (not High Sierra ) to update a 10.11 Mac? It is not in “Purchased” as I never installed it. Thanks. ---

That is the .6 update. That and the 10.12 combo download require 10.12 already installed. ---

Thanks but the package doesn’t open. I read that long thread and another and someone was going to try to make the installer available for download. So I will watch that thread. ---

Seems like a issue for others, could try the hackintosh way [https://www.hackintosh.computer/199/direct-download-macos/](https://www.hackintosh.computer/199/direct-download-macos/) ---

Is Hackintosh to be trusted? How to make sure that their OS installers are not modified in any way? ---

My impression from their deliberately confusing website is that the installers are intended for installing Mac OS on windows machines. ---

I know some people use them to build their own Mac’s, not just windows. @dan, or @BrandonCorlett, would be better to answer, Dan did a RapidWeaver show, don’t know if this is what they used: [http://www.therapidweavershow.com/episodes/0a44cd3a/episode-62-building-a-hackintosh-pro](http://www.therapidweavershow.com/episodes/0a44cd3a/episode-62-building-a-hackintosh-pro) ---

Thank you for the suggestions. I person from the macrumors thread linked above made the Sierra installer available to me. ---

Glad you got it, don’t know why Apple no longer makes them easy to get.
