Hi,
I have a Catalina system. I am now trying to install Ventura separately on a new SSD. I am following steps here
I have downloaded Ventura. In my Applications folder on my Catalina drive I see "Install macOS Ventura". 12.24 GB
When I run - per instructions -
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Ventura.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Ventura.app --nointeraction
I get error
"APFS disks may not be used as bootable install media"
In my case, I of course don't want my Catalina drive altered, don't want to disrupt that system, I just want to try and install Ventura to a new SSD that I haven't formatted yet. My Catalina drive is APFS, hence the error. So how do I modify the command above so that I can use another drive as the install media? That said, I thought the USB drive itself is the install media?
Seems I am not quite understanding the process.
As an aside - I have Skylake i7-6700k. I understand that I need to spoof to KabyLake. Tips/Guide on that somewhere?
thanks
