I’ve got a Sandy Bridge i5-2500. As RAM I’ve got 8GB at 1333mHz and a GTX780 (Natively Compatible). Grazie!

 

I meant CPUID not PCIID

Preferences/ Software Update as usual 

My preferences said I am up to date. After trying different things, I ran this app and after running this, it found the beta 7, downloaded and installed it. Adobe libraries are working fine after this update.

Interesting that repo has the app to download but doesn't contain the source code, even though it's on Github which is an open source hosting platform. Seems fishy too me.

Because I am not source my AppleScript and this is my choice

I decided to put this one too RUN ONLY 

if you don't trust a program you just don't want to use it whether it is open source or not. Most of the time I do not put my open source program is that I have great doubts that it will be reproduced in another version and sometimes I don't want to like other times it doesn't bother me at all, it depends on how I feel . . .

Right. You must be registered as a developer. Since you were in Beta 6, I assumed you were.

Full Installer Available????

[Moviemakergr]

Here BiG Sur Beta 7 on 10th gen.

When the update started, it sent me a message that my machine (iMac pro 1.1 smbios) wants Full Installer.

Then I followed the instructions and it downloads a full image 12.16 GB

That maybe means the Beta 8 is a GM Beta.

We see..

Can confirm that Beta 7 (20A5374g) cannot be upgraded directly to Beta 8 (20A5374i).

Beta 8 requires full Beta 6 to be installed first!

Not here. Mine says Full Installer Required.

Beta 6 (20A5364e) to Beta 8 available:

From the Release Notes:

 

Quote

macOS Big Sur 11 Beta 8 Release Notes

---

Note: For this macOS Big Sur build, a full installer is not available. If you are starting from macOS Catalina or an earlier version of macOS, you will need to install Beta 6 prior to updating to 20A5374i.

 

From initial observations, it seems you will be offered a partial update if your system has a start point of a fresh install of Beta 6, regardless of updated already to Beta 7 or no. Any updates from previous versions thru the beta's won't qualify for a partial update to Beta 8 and you will be forced to install Beta 6 before you can update to Beta 8.

Updated, 3 reboots, without problem everything working as before

[chris1111]

Update easy here HP ProBook 6570b 

[surfcaster]

updated via System Software Update, SMBios iMac 19.1

[dehjomz]

Any one else had to downgrade from beta7 to beta6 first, so that the installer would work via system update? On beta7, system update says it needs to download full installer, but full installer is BETA6, not BETA8. hahahaha. Gotta love bugs.

 

I'm noticing a pink tint... beta8 uses inspiration from the desktop image to tint the window...

20A5364e is Beta 6. If you look at Software Update in System Preferences, you'll find Beta 8 there waiting to be downloaded.

I had the same thing happen and I changed my config settings for securebootmodel to disabled from default and I was able to download the incremental update to beta 8 successfully.

Kool.  I'm going to disable that... seems that OC developers still have some work to do.

Update to beta 8 made... easy, let the update alone and went eating supper... after eating the update was made

From Beta 7, system update, to beta 8... SMBios iMac 20,2 ...
