Hello guys,
i have been reading in this forum for quite some time and now I came to ask you for help.
My situation is the following:
Me and my dad want to share his MBP late 2013. He did not update the OS for a few years, so it is 10.13.6 High Sierra right now.
I would like to upgrade to Big Sur (especially because I can't download Apps from the Appstore because they require a newer version).
It seems like I can't simply update via the system because I get the following error: invalid key order (63) did 4133676 / oxid 0
Object map is invalid.
Everything is backed up via time machine. And all relevant files are uploaded to iCloud.
After some research I find it best to wipe the OS and then go on to install Big Sur.
And here comes my question:
Right now, there are two user accounts on the MB (one for my dad and one for me).
Is there a way to wipe everything and restore installed apps, documents etc. BUT with the new OS?
If I would install a backup from time machine it would just put on a copy with High Sierra, is that correct?
Would love to hear a solution from you wise guys of the Macrumors forum!!
