  • Save and reboot to Boot Menu, pick your USB drive, and select macOS Installer (external),
  • Go to Disk Utility and format your disk as APFS,
  • After that go to Big Sur/Monterey installation, and pick your newly formatted drive, it will reboot a couple of times, then simply go to Boot Menu and select your USB drive, after that simply select "macOS Installer" and lately select the name of your macOS drive,
