• Planning to downgrade from Ventura to Monterey

  If for some reason installing directly from the installer file doesn't work—you can create a bootable installer disk. This is what I do, in fact I bought a few cheap 32 GB USB-drives on Amazon—a 5-pack costs maybe $25—and install different versions of macOS on them when need be. If you don't want to create the installer disk manually, I think you can use this app. Obviously don't use the same USB-drive that all... Source: about 1 year ago

• Finally. After all these years...

  This article was what I originally followed when making this drive, although instead of using DiskMaker X like the article recommends, I found Install Disk Creator had better compatibility with some of the older macOS installers. But since El Capitan, Apple has included a createinstallmedia script inside the installer, and I've just used that to great success. Source: over 1 year ago
