I've followed Apple's initial instructions, cmd-r etc and opened disk utility. Disk images/OS X Base was highlighted with erase greyed. I switched to Internal, highlighted Macintosh HD and erased that. Back on Disk images OS X Base is showing 1.29 GB used and 719.6 MB free. Is this just the OS X; if so do I leave it or erase it?
If I leave it Sierra will presumably remain. If I erase it I can install Snow Leopard from the original CDs. Can I alternatively download a more recent OS X from the Internet? I'm not sure that, given its age Sierra or even its predecessor El Capitan is a good idea?
