Erasing MacOS

I erased MacOS to reinstall a different version, but when I try turning it on, a folder with a question mark keeps popping on and off.

I can’t reinstall my macOS I came across a flashing folder with question mark on my MacBook screen after opening it. I restarted it and press command key + R after turning it back on. It made me choose a network and after that it started to load. And then, I come to a tab where there are options to Disk Utility and Reinstall MacOS. What should I do?

Question mark folder Hello, so I wanted to reset my mac so I erased it all at the login window to start again and now all that comes up is a flashing folder with a question mark on it with ‘support.apple.come/Mac/startup’. Once there, it said the following: “A folder with a flashing question mark means that your startup disk is no longer available or doesn't contain a working Mac operating system” how do I fix this issue?
