Formatting Toshiba external hard drive for my older macbook pro

I have an older (mid-2014) macbook pro and want to format my 2014 Toshiba ext. hard drive to my mac. I originally used it with a PC, but need to use it for extra storage for my mac. I've deleted all files. How do I do a switch to using it with my mac which has Mac OS Sierra ?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.12

Hi,

Connect it to your Mac > open Disk Utility > select the Toshiba name > click on Erase > name it > choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) > choose GUID > click on Erase and wait for it to finish.
