Clean Install macOS Ventura I have a little OCD, so on previous Macs, would format the SSD before reinstalling the latest version of macOS. I’ve just purchased a 16 inch MacBook Pro M1 Pro. It was pre-installed with macOS Monterey. I upgraded to Ventura then formatted the SSD, but when choosing to reinstall macOS, it reverts to downloading Monterey. Is there any way to clean install macOS and retain Ventura? Thanks in advance.

Clean install of Sierra from Big Sur ? I just bought a used MacBook Air for live music performance ( "Core i7" 1.7 11" Mid-2013 ). It will basically be a single-purpose machine, repeatedly taking music plug-ins, files and settings from my studio production Mac and using them in a live (Ableton) environment. Since my studio Mac runs High Sierra (10.12.6) , to avoid any APFS complications I want to have my Air likewise running 10.12.6 ( it arrived loaded with Big Sur 11.7.1 , but was originally 10.8.4 ). My cautious question is, can I just fire ahead, go to the App Store and do a clean install of Sierra on my Air, or are there possible complications involved in going back to a pre-APFS operating system? (There are currently no files of my own on the machine, it's just out the box...)

Ventura security problems. I updated to Ventura 13.1 . I can not find a way to run for example VMD, molden etc. These are the programs I used to work with on a daily basis. I am getting the errors: For VMD: “startup.command” cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware. For molden: “libgfortran.3.dylib” can’t be opened because it was not downloaded from the App Store. Your security settings allow installation of only apps from the App Store. I did not find a way to make it work. Could anyone help, please? Is there any official way for system problems for mac users? This is really annoying to struggle with this kind of new features that does not work properly on the updated macOS. I have a feeling that with the every update I am less and less happy with the operating system and regret that abandoned linux enviroment... Thank you in advance for your help, tips and tricks.

"is"? "was" is the correct tense because it has already happened in the past.
