Hi all
I have a 2017 MacBook Pro and want to erase my hard drive and re-install macOS Mojave to start fresh as I find MacOS always runs smoother with a fresh install (rather than just updating), I normally use my Mac with FileVault enabled.
I just have a few questions when erasing my hard drive:
1. Should I use MacOS extended journaled, APFS or APFS encrypted?
2. If I select APFS then enable FileVault will it then become APFS encrypted?
3. To erase my current encrypted drive, after entering my password and erasing the drive will that destroy the encryption key that I was given during the initial set up?
Any help is appreciated.
