- Restart the computer. Immediately, at or before the chime, hold down the Command and R keys until the Apple logo and progress bar appear. Wait until the Utility Menu appears.
- Select Disk Utility from the Utility Menu and click on the Continue button.
- When Disk Utility loads select the target drive (out-dented entry w/type and size info) from the Device list.
- Click on the Erase button in Disk Utility's toolbar. A panel will drop down.
- Set the partition scheme to GUID.
- Set the Format type to APFS (SSDs only) or Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)
- Click on the Apply button, then wait for the Done button to activate and click on it.
- Quit Disk Utility and return to the Utility Menu.
- Select Install OS X and click on the Continue button.
