My MBP 2010 runs perfectly on the newest iOS. It’s upgraded with a SSD though.
I think you mean MacOS. It will be interesting if can install the iOS on a Mac
Got a tip for us?

I have an early 2011 MBP. It runs fine for me. I have upgraded the Hard Drive to an SSD with trim enabled. I also have 16 GB of 1600 MHZ Ram. If you are still using a spinning standard drive make sure you DO NOT use APFS.

Do you have a 2011 MBP potentially facing GPU issues?
If so, try this :
1. Boot into safe mode (hold CMD -S) at start up
2. You will have a bunch of text on your screen if you did it correctly
3. At the prompt type :
nvram fa4ce28d-b62f-4c99-9cc3-6815686e30f9:gpu-power-prefs=%01%00%00%00
4. Verify you typed that EXACTLY as above, then press enter
5. Type
reboot
6. Press enter
Today my 2011 4 GB MBP with High Sierra 10.13.2 is working very well, it did not start out very well but after the re-install i am very impressed with how my older 2011 MBP is running.

Indeed
I tried installing MacOS 10.13 On my iMac (late 2012), it was so terribly slow. I had to save all my important files to an external hard drive. Then reboot into an earlier OS using internet recovery, which took a few hours. My iMac booted into Mac OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion, I then updated to 10.9.5 Mavericks and reinstalled all my 'files'.
10.9 is supported very fairly well, if you use that MBP I urge you to downgrade.
Plus OSX 10.9 looks and feels better than MacOS 10.13
See my signature for details on my 2011 MBP. I once had 4GB of memory and a 500GB spinner. Then I upgraded to Sierra and it brought my system to a halt. I increased the memory to 16GB and Sierra ran fine but was at the mercy of the slow HDD. Then came the SSD and it was like a new machine equivalent in speed to the machines at the Apple Store. I have subsequently swapped out the 16GB memory for 16GB overclocked 2133mhz memory. The move from Sierra to High Sierra was seamless.
Some things to keep in mind, after you upgraded, High Sierra was probably busy indexing and tagging. Mostly the Photo's app doing demanding tasks in the background. There is no way 4GB of memory can handle this task and let you work at the same time. You were probably swapping cache between the slow HDD you have and the limited memory resources.
I doubt it, but the worst that will happen if you try it is that it won't work.
I tried Control V and at the end I got these messages
Anyone able to help? It just went straight to a complete grey screen again
I’m so frustrated with all of this!

Just updated and it seems to have broken 60Hz output to my 32inch UP3216Q monitor.
2013 MP mini display port to HDMI via active adaptor running at 3840 x 2160 60Hz now only wants to run at 30Hz.
Great. Just great....
EDIT - it's that age old thing where you (well I do anyway) need to go back to display prefs and select DEFAULT FOR THIS DISPLAY.
Then 60Hz kicks in
For some reason something seemed to have moved settings back to SCALED, but kept the resolution the same.
Not a bug...

May I know why you need (or want) to connect the display via a DP to HDMI adaptor? Isn't the UP3216Q directly accept display port signal?
Hi there.
It accepts display port. I have a MDP to DP cable but this does not do 60Hz (as far as I'm aware). Looking around I saw this solution - tried it and it works.
The monitor has a MDP connector as well but I do not have a MDP to MDP cable. Not sure if that would work...... ?
MDP to HDMI doesn't seem to output RGB either and none of the workarounds I can find online don't seem to work for me - monitor says it's YPbPr at the moment.....

That sounds strange. DP usually work better than.
I assume you already check if DP 1.2 is enabled on the monitor.
Or try something like ResXtreme

FFS. You're right. Just tried again using the MDP to DP cable and then checking preferences.
Is this a bug? You actually need to go to prefs then click on Default for Display for 60Hz to kick in EVEN IF it's already at 3840x2160 with the More Space radio button selected.
Prob more me being stupid that anything.... never mind. £15 on an adaptor wasted.

You may keep it for future use. It's hard to tell, may be you (or your friend) need this adaptor later.
Or may be you can put in on the Market place or sell it to some other members here. I occasionally see some people looking for this kind of adaptor. You may sell it to them to recover some cost. Especially your adaptor is proved 100% working, and you know how to setup. It's better for them to buy a "should work" adaptor.
Sure thing. Not a big deal. Will eBay it for a few ££.
Much appreciate your help. Something about HDMI feels 'icky' when computers are concerned. Glad to be rid of it. Could have saved myself the trouble by just playing with the display preferences pane a bit.

+1 for HDD issue recommendations. Updates can and will expedite/dramatize hard disk failures due to high disk activity. You may not have noticed before but think of disk errors like brain aneurysms: you can go years without even knowing they're there... then one day you go for a run and it ruptures, causing a stroke, which can cause death. (Ironically in this situation, like aneurysms, coffee and soda can also be the demise of your computer...)
Another way to look at it is: you probably would have seen the same failure soon thereafter should you not have ran the update. The recommendations to upgrade to a SSD have my support; it sucks to accept, but at least in your case I'd be willing to bet you could extract the contents before upgrading.
PS: Sorry for getting all medical.
It's not allowing install because you're running the same version you're trying to install.

Seems you have a lot of work ahead of you unless Apple can fix this via another update that can magically get onto your Mac. Time Machine backup is NOT the only option, but it is by FAR the fastest/easiest (and cheapest if you don't have a spare external drive).
Good luck!
That sounds horrible for me - my time machine won’t load either.
This is ridiculous as I’ve read many others are experiencing the same thing.
Time machine won’t boot either... shows up as an option ...
Please tell me I haven’t lost everything
I have High Sierra running just fine on my mid 2009 MacBook pro and it runs it very nicely even after the latest security patch that All my friends running windows are having major issues with.
How did you fix? I've got the same exact problem on a 2011 MBP. No internet recovery, no recovery, can only boot to single user... did you have to to reformat completely?
TVreporter posted just a few days ago, and his issue is still not solved.
But, yes, that would be one solution if you can't boot to the recovery system. Backup the drive, if you can, and try an erase, reinstall and restore from the backup. If your hard drive is failing, then the erase will probably fail, too.
