Hello friends, I just upgraded my hardware and I'm trying to do a fresh install of Sonoma. I created a bootable USB, however, I am running into issues. First off, the USB is not recognized in the BIOS. I don't see it as a bootable device. Secondly, as I am trying to format the existing SSD, I can get into Clover, and the "Sonoma" external device is shown, however, if I select it I get the error shown in the second photo (Was error, press any key).

I used Clover bootloader for the installation USB.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

GTX 1060 = Not supported in Sonoma.
i7-12700K integrated graphics = Not supported in Sonoma.
Well that was easy, thanks! I will try with an older version of the operating system.
 
GTX 1060 is only supported up to and including High Sierra.
I don't know that your i7-12700K is supported in that OS.
Best to check before spending more time attempting to install.
