Should those things not be available in your Mac or its macOS version:
"System Preferences includes 'Erase All Content and Settings' only when using macOS Monterey on a Mac with Apple silicon or a Mac with the Apple T2 Security Chip. If this feature isn't available or doesn't work on your Mac, follow these steps instead:
- To restore factory settings, learn what to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Mac.
- To erase, follow the steps to erase a Mac with Apple silicon or the steps to erase an Intel-based Mac using Disk Utility."
