Clearing MacBook

I’m trying to clear my MacBook because it has a lot of stuff on it and start over (back to factory settings, it’s being slow) How do I go about it?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

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.
