The next version of MacOS is official.
While at WWDC 2017, Apple announced and previewed MacOS High Sierra, a major update to the MacOS Sierra operating system that released last year for Macs. It includes many behind-the-scene upgrades that will make your Mac seem more powerful, more secure, and faster. For instance, it will allow for VR and AR content.
But you don't have to wait until autumn to try all these new features. Apple just opened the High Sierra public beta program, marking yet another time the company has allowed anyone to download and run a major pre-release version of its desktop OS before a formal release. It also just opened the iOS 11 public beta program for iPhone and iPad users.
If you want to get MacOS High Sierra up and running on your Mac now, I have detailed everything you need to know below.
How can you get MacOS High Sierra public beta?
Should you test the MacOS High Sierra public beta?
The High Sierra public beta is not the final, stable version intended for all consumers. The final version will release this autumn. As for the public beta version, it might include several bugs that have yet to be discovered or fixed. You should therefore only download and install the beta on a machine that's not your primary computer. And always back up your data and files first (see Apple's support page).
How do you provide feedback to Apple?
The OS X and iOS public betas come with a Feedback Assistant app, which can be opened from the second page of the Home screen on your iOS device or from the Dock on your Mac. You can learn more about the app here. The app is also available from the Help menu of any app.
