Oclp Ventura would have been your best option .

Thanks. I could consider doing that in the future if the need arises.

Does anyone know where to get the Monterey installation (outside App Store)?

@@vyxszmCan you do better…?

[@EugeniaLoli]

You will get a lot more speed installing Linux Mint 22 on it, since it requires less resources than the newer versions of macos.

[@aoeaster]

Thank you for the info. I might try that out if the need arises.

Hi, when i reboot my iMac it does not give me the option of selecting the usb. Any ideas?

[@aoeaster]

Try holding down the option key on your keyboard. Or you might need to recreate your installation USB.
