Create a bootable installer for macOS - Apple Support


What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Mac - Apple Support Point 8 is the relevant instruction for your specific task


Basically you create the Flash drive with the older OS, boot from it to install the OS then migrate data if you wish. Be sure you follow the steps precisely and have copious backups.
