I have PCIe SSD setup for me (four of them Raided to read as one drive...sorry I'm not all that tech savvy. Please bare with me). I can't upgrade to 10.13.6 because it keeps telling me that it doesn't recognize the raid...something to that effect. So I would always take it elsewhere for almost every update. It's a pain not to be able to update the regular way, in the comfort of my own home, with a simple visit to the App store. How can I go about this because I'm tired of the back and forth from home to the center, the almost two day wait (I have projects to complete), then back home afterwards. Keep in mind, I'm willing to do a clean install because my projects, my life, are all on externals. I always leave the internal drives to only work the applications and OS.

Now, I was told "Just clone your raid to an external single drive, update from there and clone it back to the raid.". No details. Like I said, I'm not as tech savvy as you guys are. I can do SOME things but I would very much appreciate it if someone can give me a fully detailed run down of how to get this done. I'm not even looking to convert my Journaled HFS+ Raid to the newer APFS Raid, if it makes things easier to explain.

Hopefully I have uploaded all the information needed for someone to help me out.

Thanks in advance!
