problem using M2 created external startup disk I created a Ventura startup disk on an external ssd using a Macbook Air M2. The external drive name is correct (VenturaOS) when selecting it from Startup Options, and boots/works on the M2 Macbook. But when I try the same external drive on an Intel Macbook Pro, the external drive name is EFI Boot (which is the first partition on the drive) and it will not boot, it will only restart. I am troubleshooting the Intel Macbook Pro, it may be the problem, but I want to know if the external drive created using the Macbook Air M2 should be able to boot on the Intel Macbook, or if I need to created the external drive using an Intel Macbook.

Running High Sierra, need to reinstall El Capitan on different iMac ok, so this is my current dilemma, I have a late 2009 iMac running High Sierra, and I'm trying to create a bootable SSD with El Capitan for a different iMac, but can't seem to make it install on the external SSD, when I get to the part on where to install El Capitan my SSD is not an option, says something like "no mac os is installed on this drive" and can't move from there, any ideas on how to do it ? or is there an alternative to install on brand new internal SSD on 2008 iMac ? ??

go to apple downloads site and type in the search. There should be firmware updaters there.

Do you know how I can do these steps without software?
