Unable to update from 10.13.2 to 10.13.3

Thx for your answer. So I have to reinstall OSX?

• Yes, Reinstall with Intel HD 4600 as the video card.
• When that system is working OK , you can change the BIOS to PCIE gfx ,and install Radeon later as a second step if you know it will work and know how to install it with needed FakeID and FB Name in config.plist.

But I have a GTX 970 Nvidia, not a Radeon. All I can tell to you is that my graphics card works with OSX; to install High Sierra (10.13.0) I had to use the "Nvidia generic" flag. At the end of the installation I booted my OSX and than I installed the official Nvidia drivers that support my graphics card. Obviously hardware acceleration works too. After some time, I have updated OSX to 10.13.2 (it's the operating system I'm using now while I'm writing to you). The problem is that I can not update from 10.13.2 to 10.13.3. I think the problems are related to the fact that in the Clover boot I don't see any update partition (I think it should be called "install macOS" or something like this) but only those of Windows10 and OSX

• Sorry I misspoke about your actual PCIE GFX. But anyway you had installed your Right NVIDIA PCIE GFX OK.

Great.

I guess I caught up with you right this time

You downloaded 10.13.3 and the installation supposedly started but
when you reached CBM screen the extra icon of "Install macOS X High Sierra" you expected to see was a No Show!
Is that correct?​

If that is the case,

• Reboot to your 10.13.2 Desktop.
• Install and run "ShowAllFiles" Download Now 77.1 KB .zip
• Click "Show" on the popup
• This will show all hidden files in 10.13.2 System disk
• Look inside the disk and locate "macOS install Data" Folder Right click and "Send To Trash"
• Re-download 10.13.3. and try again.

Yes, I can't see this icon

I can't find "macOS Install Data" folder in my hard disk:

• If you don't see that, you should be able to re-download and try another attempt to update the system.
• During the reboot after installation begins (and it can be just 2-4 minutes into the start of installation), press the F-12 key and SELECT your System Hard disk to enter CBM screen
• Then you reboot the "macOS Installer.." Icon .
• Do this at every reboot till you finish and the "MacOS installer" icon disappears leaving only System disk and the Recovery HD ( and any other Operating System disk icon you are booting with CLOVER) in CBM.
• Then you boot the System Disk to complete the installation and reach Desktop.
• Check your MacOS HighSierra Version and BUILD.
• Go to AppSore>Update and confirm no more updates and current successful update listed under history.

Sorry for the delay. I tried more than once but that folder never appears
