<p>The other day a co-worker needed to borrow a Mac, so I grabbed an older MacBook Air from storage. I decided to wipe out the laptop’s flash storage and install a fresh version of OS X. I created a bootable USB flash drive installer (http://www.macworld.com/article/2981585/operating-systems/how-to-make-a-bootable-os-x-10-11-el-capitan-installer-drive.html), plugged it into the laptop, pressed the Option key as the machine booted, and then selected the USB drive as the boot disk.</p><p>I then ran Disk Utility to reformat the drive and then ran the installer to install OS X.
