Can't convert new SSD to APFS
I just purchased a LaCie SSD with the intent to use it as my startup disk on a 2106 Mac running Catalina. I attempted to restore from Time Machine onto the new drive, but it refuses. Mac Recover tells me to erase the disk and use Disk Utility to change the partition scheme to GUID, but it does not give me that option. When I select "Convert to APFS" it only says a GUID Partition Scheme is required. But the Partition option in disk Utility is grayed out. What am I missing?
