Hi Matthew,
When you install the OS on your machine as a new installation
That process also sets up an installation recovery partition as part of the
process.
As for everytime a sierra update comes out you don't have to make or create a
new / updated USB installer the Sierra update will / can be updated to your
machine through either the software updates or the applications store.
As for eraising and or repartitioning of the drive, you can do that from disk
utilities at the start of the installation process.

Hi,
I already have a uasb installer, but if I erase the driveand use the usb
installer to install the drive it should work then. I am planing erasing the
drive and repartitioning the drive. Just want to make sure I am clear on this.
Also, if I have 10.12.3, will need to redo the usb drive everytime a new
version of seria is out? I though making a recovery usb was supposed to save
this stuff. Thanks.

Really easy way to do this is use the terminal from within your mac os,
So long as you have the installation package in your applications folder
you just write the command
Sudo
/Applications/Install|MacOS|Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/Createinstal
lationmedia --volume /Volume/USB-Device --applicationpath
/Applications/Install|MacOS|Sierrra.app
Give or take a couple of spaces and spelling mistakes the command is along that
line.
Doing a search for how to create Mac OS installer USB within Google
should give you the ansers, All you have to do is ensure you have the
latest update Hope that helps.

Subject: Question regarding clean install
Hi all,
Asked about this before but never got a clear answer. I have used disk maker X
to create an installer from 10.12, but not sure if this there is an easyer
way to do this as I want to be able to do a clean install.
In other words I want to erase the drive and have it repartisioneed if that
makes any sense. I have tried recovery disk assistant, but every time I open
it it just tells me recovery disk assisstant has no windows. What are people
using to do this? I am hopping to get a new external drive soon and from there
I should be able to do what I want.
I just want to be clear. Thanks.
Matthew
