How to downgrade for 18.0 Final release?

[Dorfdad]

I have beta 18.1 on my MacBook Pro and it been relatively ok few issue but nothing that has prevented me from working. Now with the final release of 18 coming next week I decided to install the RC to my system but I can't since im on 18.1 beta

Is this going to prevent me from installing the Final Release of 18? If so how do I go about "downgrading" for final release?

I think you can either use a Time Machine backup (made using the stable version of the OS) or you have to do a clean install.

You won't get the final release next week. You'll have to do a clean install. Time Machine no longer backs up or restores the OS.

Directions can be found on the beta site:

Apple Beta — Restore Shipping Software

beta.apple.com

It'd probably be easier to just wait and upgrade to the final version of 15.1 next month.

Ill do a clean wipe Im fine with that, its a bit of a pain but I learn a lot doing this.

I have beta 18.1 on my 14" M1 MacBook Pro also and if the 18.0 update doesn't come up, I am just going to wait for the official 18.1 update. Shouldn't be too long after the official 18.0 update comes out.

Are we talking about Macs or iPhones here? macOS Sequoia is version 15; iOS is version 18.

I'm talking Macs. Yeah, we got the version number wrong. I did any way!
