Okay how did you upgrade to macOS Sierra.
Did you visit this page
How to upgrade to macOS Sierra - Apple Support
Did you download InstallOS.dmg to your Downloads folder.
Did you open it to InstallOS.pkg
Did you open that and get an installation window.
Did it say it would take 13.5MBs of disk space.
Did you know that does not install macOS Sierra
Did you know it creates the Install macOS Sierra.app in your Applications folder.
Did you look in your Applications folder.
Double-clicking on Install macOS Sierra.app will launch the OS installation screen.
Did you know that on completion of the install the Install macOS Sierra.app self deletes.
Did you know you should copy the Install macOS Sierra.app to an external drive
in case you need to reinstall Sierra or install it on another mac.

No it shouldn't, but that doesn't mean it can't happen, that is why you made a full backup of your mac before
you started the installation.
Sierra would have nothing to do with breaking your external drive, if that is what you are thinking.
I take it that you are installing Sierra on your macs internal drive, if so
then you do not need to worry about your external drive.
Just make a copy of the Install macOS Sierra.app on a USB stick or similar.
Sorry you are right I did download it from there, but probably have only installed the installer, am doing the thing from the application folder now. Thanks,
My external hard drive broke, is this vital, am I at risk installing Sierra?
Yea, internal drive. Thanks, upgrading the OS doesn't often break a computer does it?
Thank you.
installed sierra nothing happened?
