High Sierra Support
The latest version of macOS is right around the corner from Apple, and is looking great! We wanted to make sure Winclone is fully compatible, so we have been testing Winclone with each new beta. We just released Winclone 6.1, which adds in High Sierra support for the current beta and some other enhancements, so make sure that you update to Winclone 6.1 right in the app. One of the biggest improvements in High Sierra and Winclone is improved System Integrity Protection (SIP) support. In macOS 10.11 and 10.12, you had to disable SIP when restoring. In 10.13, if you are on a recent Mac and restoring Windows 8 or later, SIP no longer needs to be disabled and you can restore a Winclone image seamlessly to a new Boot Camp partition.
