macOS High Sierra is Now Available on the Mac App Store

Question about drives - I have three - boot drive is EVO 250GB, I have an NVME that I use for recent photo editing (500GB) and a 1TB HDD. If I upgrade, what happens to the file system on each drive:AFS on the EVO and NVME, HDD unchanged or some other combination ?
Thanks!

You'd be better to stick with HFS+ than APFS.

My experience:
Your boot drive will be converted to APFS unless you take steps to avoid it (guide already linked previously).
The rest will be left at HFS+J.

you just need to enable SIP when install the web driver, after you installed, do what ever you want to disable sip...

enable SIP add the settings to your config.plist.

Clover Configurator > Rt Variables > BooterConfig and CsrActiveConfig

Relevant user options for SIP are as follows:
csr-active-config 0x0 = SIP Enabled (Default)
csr-active-config 0x3 = SIP Partially Disabled (Loads unsigned kexts)
csr-active-config 0x67 = SIP Disabled completely

When I tried to enable SIP, my machine would just panic and reboot. Am I doing it incorrectly? I just changed the values in Clover.

Testing is now underway- this post will be updated. Good luck, and let us know how it goes! Report your results here.

I had no trouble at all installing High Sierra on my simple EconoMac II with Intel HD 4600 graphics. Perfect the first time. On my PowerMac G5, however, I got the dreaded "The path /System/Installation/Packages/OSInstall.mpkg appears to be missing or damaged" error. I tried everything including updating to the latest Clover, making sure my FAKESMC was the latest version, using the latest APFS.EFI, installing a different AppleAHCIPort.kest, and even created a USB installer to do the upgrade, but it always failed with the above error. Thanks to posts here and on InsanelyMac I was able to solve the problem. What finally worked was deleting all copies of NVRAM.PLIST (Toleda's advice) and resetting the SMBIOS with the latest version of Clover Configurator (Vinicius P. Miranda's insight). Even though I kept the same definition (14,2) it had been updated from a 2013 date to an 8/2017 date. Those two items made all the difference and the install then went perfectly. Whew!

I would probably say 2 hours. I am wondering if it has something to do with it switching between 2.4 and 5ghz.

Just a quick google. Might not fix the issue but might help you find it??

The update to High Sierra went smoothly following the directions in https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/update-directly-to-macos-high-sierra.232707/. After update, I lost sound, so I followed the directions in @toleda's post https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/high-sierra-desktop-realtek-applehda-audio.226433/

and voila


And Hallelujah, the iBooks transparent video screen bug is finally fixed!

Running a super old Gigabyte EP45-UD3L here with GTX750. Most troublesome install to date I must say, but still amazed I can get a booted system with High Sierra after all these years of updates!

However, I managed to get booting system running only after a clean install. System drive is using APFS file system. Updating a cloned Sierra 10.12.6 install failed after multiple attempts.

Here's my main problem: Only one of my drives (a Samsung EVO SSD) is being recognized by the HS installer or HS in general. Of coarse, that recognized drive was not my main system drive that I intended to update to HS

So far, I've followed all procedures & then some. apfs.efi is installed in /drivers64 (NOT /drivers64UEFI) since this is a non UEFI legacy board.
SATA AHCI mode is properly set in BIOS
Required kexts for booting this system include Fake SMC, NullCPUMgmt, and VoodooTSSync (for Xeon processor)

Perhaps a clover fix I'm unaware of will make my other drives (1 HFS+ SSD (Kingston) & 2 HFS+ HDDs) show up again?
Or do I need some sort of custom AppleAHCI.kext inject?
