You won't find this in the Apple Menu.


Apple has the steps to do this in Erase and reinstall macOS. Look at the section called On an Intel-based Mac without the Apple T2 Security Chip


If you are disposing of the Mac go through the steps in What to do before you sell, give away or trade in your Mac
