Hi,

 

I've been having horrible battery life with the Mojave beta, and for the moment would like to roll back to High Sierra. When I search for it in the App Store it does not show up. I searched for it in Safari and can open the link to the App Store but the "Get" button is greyed out. Does anyone know how to fix this issue.

 

Cheers,

You can't downgrade by reinstalling the old OS over the top of the newer one. 

 

You'll need to reboot to recovery (Command + R at boot), wipe the boot drive, then install the OS from the internet (it'll do it for you).

 

Then either enjoy the new fresh install or restore from a pre-Mojave Time-Machine backup.
