Search your computer for Disk Utility - the easiest way is to click the magnifying glass (Spotlight) icon in the upper right of your computer and type Disk Utility.
Once you have connected the new drive to your computer, follow these steps below. Optionally for a traditional portable hard drive you can also select the format Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
If you already know how to use Disk Utility, the format information to choose is APFS or APFS (encrypted) and the scheme should be set to GUID Partition Map. Follow these directions to get your drive formatted for the Mac. Occasionally you may purchase a drive that comes pre-formatted for use on Windows and will need to erase it to use properly on the Mac.
