Reinstall Mac Os does not show Macintosh HD for reinstall

Trying to reinstall OS after erasing early 2014 MacBook Air.

I get to OS X Yosemite, Select the disk where you want to install OS X and there is no disk to select.

Install is grayed out.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.3

Was this Apple Method used ? -->> Use Disk Utility to erase an Intel-based Mac


Followed by this Apple Method ? -->> How to reinstall macOS


Follow these guidelines during installation:

  • If the installer asks to unlock your disk, enter the password you use to log in to your Mac.
  • If the installer doesn't see your disk, or it says that it can't install on your computer or volume, you might need to erase your disk first.
  • If the installer offers you the choice between installing on Macintosh HD or Macintosh HD - Data, choose Macintosh HD.
