How to create a bootable installer to El Captain in a MiniMac M1? I need to generate a bootable installer for my old iMac 2009 A1224 to reinstall El Captain 10.11.6 after I have formatted its HD, but I only have a MiniMac M1 2022 running Ventura 13.1. How can I do that? In an article here at Apple Community, I read that it would be impossible to complete the task in a computer running an OS later than El Captain. Is that right? Can I solve the problem?
