> I normally have one or two MacBook Pros available (one my own, one the company's) on which I can do the work, and they're normally running the latest version of the o/s (so they're both on 10.12.5 now). I am a registered Mac Developer, so I could get hold of advance versions of next releases of > macOS, but I'm a little reluctant to install them on my machines (so I've never done it yet). Find (or buy: 1TB for $60) an external USB3.0 drive, make a 100GB partition [suggestion: format the remainder for TimeMachine backup], install the beta of Mac OS (~4.5GB download) using your Developer access. Boot that partition (hold down the Option key at the power-on or reboot chime), and Sleep overnight with the battery charger and internet connected. The latest beta release of Mac OS will appear within a couple days of its release. 10.12.6 beta appeared yesterday (~1.6GB download, one-half hour install.) If it does not behave properly, then you can always boot and run the stable version from your internal drive. -- |
