These are the steps I intend to follow to do a clean install of Sierra on my MacBook Air. If anyone sees a problem in these steps would you please let me know? For example, is it necessary to first D authorize my computer in iTunes to avoid problems
One. I have installed Sierra over the top of my Yosemite OS. Two. I have backed up my machine. Three. I will boot into the recovery mode and, using disk utility, I will erase and reformat the "Macintosh HD" partition using Mack OS extended journaled as the disk format. Four. I will quit disk utility, and still in the recovery mode, select reinstall OS, And follow the install prompts. Five. I will reinstall Dropbox and other apps, and reset system settings to my liking. The overlay of Sierra on top of Yosemite actually works quite well, and seems to be without problems, except that the machine seems to heat up more than it used to. Also, I have never done a clean install since I got this air with the lion OS and so thought it might be a good idea to do a clean install for once.
