Istalling was easy. I only Get a problem in Safari. It's closes itself 3 times and freezes sometimes. Needs an hard reset. Puch.... made a feedbackmessage for Apple.
Try this:
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra\ Public\ Beta.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Sierra --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra\ Public\ Beta.app --nointeraction
Where your blank thumb drive is named "Sierra"
Installed macOS Sierra on an external USB drive connected to my iMac to test. First thing I noticed when rebooting to Sierra was that my internal fusion drive appeared to be broken. It didn't mount and Sierra's Disk Utility listed my internal fusion drive as an Unformatted Internal Physical Disk. SSD portion undetectable. Sierra's Startup Disk System preference didn't list my fusion drive to reboot to. Luckily I have multiple external hard drives here, so I rebooted to a drive with OS X 10.11.5. From there my fusion drive reappeared and I could selected it to reboot from. Thankfully no data loss. I did do a complete Time Machine backup prior to my experiment.
Anyone else try macOS Sierra from an external drive and their internal fusion drive wasn't mountable like this?

OMGZ I GOTTA GET SIRI ON MY DESKTOP TO ASK HER POINTLESS QUESTIONS AND HAVE HER GIVE ME IRRELEVANT ANSWERS.
I will be upgrading to this OS sooner or later. I'm still running OS X Yosemite on my 2010 MacBook Pro though.
I have an external video adapter that outputs 4K resolution, but it requires 10.9 to use. I hope that Sierra will work with it. NTFS read/write and the USB3 expressport card are the only other thing that is a challenge to get working.

Upgrade went just fine on my 27" Mid 2010 iMac. Safari seems fine so far for me, haven't run Office or Photos yet. Mostly cause I ran into an odd problem - updates. The App Store lists most of my apps as "Install", but the apps work. No, I didn't change Apple IDs or anything like that.
Here's the kicker - the iTunes and macOS Recovery updates hang at 152MB, doing the infamous "calculating". But I could do an Epson printer update and a Evernote update just fine. Cleared every cache, rebooted, booted, booted, booted, and even let it go for 2 hours. I'm about to commence a good healthy round of swearing next (I am a professional, don't try this at home.)

SO MUCH BETTER! The first release was horrible.

Yes, it is faster than El Capitan. El Capitan was the worst OSX imo.

[doublepost=1468036267][/doublepost]OS10 and the Apple Watch dose not work. It not seen at all!??? I was told to downgrade to get it to work? Any one else had any luck?
If you want Sierra to be busy for a while, run Photos. Open up any photo and click Details. You'll get a geographic view and then comes the hammer - it analyzes your entire library to find similar photos. That only took a few minutes, but apparently the process gets going that way so it's analyzing entire 38,000 photo library now on its own. So you've been alerted.
I'm quite pleased after 24 hours. The OS performance is snappy and seemingly faster than El Capitan. I think this is the fastest I have ever seen my old PS CS6 load. I can't find anything that is not working for me.
On the down side it has all of the various USB bugs with external drives and speakers that El Capitan has. I suppose that these are just not going to be fixed.

I won't be using the new Siri on my iMac if there's no way to dial down that snark'o'meter!
Lol
Disappointed Photos still does not allow Photoshop to be used as an external editor. I know Apple blames Adobe and Adobe blames Apple but between them they are selling their customers short. As a result I am still using iPhotos but sooner or later it will stop working or develop a nasty security hole. I know I could use Bridge instead of iPhoto but the heave of exporting all my Events to folders for Bridge is one of those things I am always going to do next week.
I'm on a 2014 MBA - same here. Do let us know if you find a solution - I've tried all sorts of thing including trying the update through the command line.
