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

Hey leroydouglas,

To be honest, hat guide didn't help me. But fortunetly I'm already solve this problem, I'd use this Apple's guide to create an executable on a flashdrive to return to a previous version, and works!


Thank you so much for your time!

Have a good day.
