Tuesday Would it be impossible for her to make more room on her disk? This will also allow her to install updates from Microsoft with restore points etc. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Large hard drives are ridiculously cheap. Improve this answer. Your statement is unnecessarily strongly worded. Also the effect of disk fragmentation depends a lot on the amount of free RAM on the system which the computer can use for buffering. So i was successfully able to do a backup and then upgrade my IOS.

More Less. Once you have a hard drive, you can go ahead and follow the simple steps to install and use macOS Sierra from your external drive. Before you install macOS Sierra on the hard drive, you will need to clean the external device. Ensure that there is no important data on your hard drive. Then plug it into your Mac, go to Finder, and select Applications.
From Applications, go to Utilities and from there, find and double click on Disk Utility. In the Disk Utility tab, select the external hard drive that is connected to the Mac, and then click on Erase at the top. Now rename it to something like sierra that you will remember, choose "Mac OS Extended Journaled " in the format, and then click on Erase.
Once the process completes, click on Done, and you are ready to begin the installation. Once your hard drive is formatted, you will need to turn it into a bootable drive. Before you begin this, you will require the Administrator access on your Mac. Step 1 Go to Finder to open the window, and from the left side, select Applications. Step 2 From the application's Window, find and click Utilities, and from there, go to Terminal.
Step 3 Now, remember the name that you set for formatting your external drive i. In case you named it something other than sierra, then make the appropriate changes in the following text.
Step 4 When you tap enter, you will be asked the password for the administrator account. As you type the password, no text will be there in the terminal window.
Depending on the drive, this process could take a while. Once the above step completes, your external hard drive will be ready to run macOS Sierra on any compatible Mac. First, you have to turn off the Mac on which you want to run Sierra from the bootable drive. Then turn on your Mac, and as soon as you hear the startup sound, press the Option key and keep it pressed.
Within a few seconds, you will get a screen that asks you to select the appropriate hard drive for booting. On this screen, select the one on which you have installed macOS Sierra, and you will soon have your Mac running Sierra! Thus, as you follow these simple steps, you will have configured the macOS Sierra to run from an external hard drive. You do not have to worry about how much free space there is in your Mac or anything else of the sort.
