[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1922464, member: 204485"] No, you will not be able to boot your device from a USB drive with just the macOS on it. You need to create a Bootable macOS USB installer (Thumb Drive) by employing a 3rd party application like DiskMakerX or Install Disk Creator (macdaddy.io) which erases the Thumb Drive and puts macOS Monterey on to it in a form that allows you to 1. Boot your device. 2. Access Disk Utility to erase / format your HD and 3 instal a fresh copy of Monterey. PS. I would suggest you save the installer somewhere in case you need it again. [/QUOTE]
