Return to Big Sur from Monterrey OS

Hey there!

Since a while I'm using Monterrey 12.1 on my MacBook Air 13" 2017. I need to be honest, the performance and optimization for this OS is not appropiate for my MacBook Air. Since this upgrading I'm having a lot of performance issues, and I really want to back to the previous version, because it works amazing with my mac.


How can I return to Big Sur? Sadly, I didn't have a Time Machine with that version. How can I do it?


Thanks :)

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.1
