I logged into iCloud.com and removed the Macbook but I am still getting the error. Is there another way to install the OS? Can I use my new macbook?

does it have access to the internet?
have you done a restart?
TRy it again with
Command-Option-R
... as stated in the article.
Yes. Command R.
That did it (Command-Option-R). Thank you so much for your help! It is now installing macOS Monterey.
Yea it is. I restarted it several time even waited a few hours. I connect it to my WiFi, When I try to do a internet recovery it runs for a few minutes but gives me the error right when the progress bar gets to zero.
Thanks. I removed it from the find my iPhone app and it’s still giving me the same error.
That same error, or a different number?
This last time it didn't ask for the wifi info, it connected on its own but it still showed -1008F
were you using the recommended Comman-Option-R from that article?
