First time I see these two options – which should I use?
This is a 2017 MacbookPro 13″ with Intel i5, model A1708, right after I erased “Macintosh HD” using Disk Utility and reset its NVRAM.
How come there are two options and what is this Update option?!

Learning from this question, it seems I didn’t fully erase the the hard drive. The proper steps are:
- Enter recovery mode
Shut down, long press power to boot, immediately hold cmd+R until you see the apple again - Fully erase the drive and create partition
Using Disk Utility, erase the root of the tree. Be sure to name the new partitionMacintosh HD, chooseJournaledandGUID Partition Map
(Note: ChangeUntitledtoMacintosh HD) - Install macOS
If you go back and choose reinstall macOS you should now have a single drive namedMacintosh HDto choose from
