Understand the Below will WIPE ALL DATA and there is No Recovery - Period.


1 - It will present options >> Disk Utilities >> View >> View ALL attached Drives. 


2 - Choose the Upper Most Drive ( not the volumes indented and list below ).


3 - The drive normally is called Apple Media or Apple SSD - that is the drive to Erase and format as APFS with the GUID Partition Map. This applies to macOS 10.14 Mojave and above. 


4 - Once that is done >> backup out of Disk Utilities and choose install macOS. 


5 - Follow the prompts and it may automatically reboot several time. 


6 - Upon a final reboot - Setup Assist will present with the newer version of macOS.
