Clean Install macOS Ventura I have a little OCD, so on previous Macs, would format the SSD before reinstalling the latest version of macOS. I’ve just purchased a 16 inch MacBook Pro M1 Pro. It was pre-installed with macOS Monterey. I upgraded to Ventura then formatted the SSD, but when choosing to reinstall macOS, it reverts to downloading Monterey. Is there any way to clean install macOS and retain Ventura? Thanks in advance.

Using an external SSD as my startup disk with my Mac mini I followed the instructions on "Use an external SSD as your startup disk with your iMac or Mac mini" - Quoting from the instructions: "After Migration, change your startup disk to set the external SSD as the default startup Disk. Open System Preferences, then choose Startup Disk. Select the external SSD, and click Restart." Well, after over 14 hours of trying everything together with my Apple tech, the external SSD never shows up in the Startup Disk panel. Only my internal HD. Any solutions and further instructions would be very welcome! Many thanks in advance (somewhere along the way, it says S.M.A.R.T. not supported)... Help! Mac Mini (late 2014) running on Monterrey 12.6.1

No. What you buy is what you need to live with.

However, there are tons of very compact external SSDs available to add additional storage.
