How to make a bootable Sierra installer drive in case you want to downgrade from macOS High Sierra

If you are planning to upgrade to macOS High Sierra, there is one additional set of steps you should follow. You should download a bootable copy of macOS Sierra. This allows you to use it if you partition your hard drive for dual-software installation. It is also the only way to downgrade to the older format if you decide you don't like macOS High Sierra at all.
