Installing macOS Sonoma on a 2024 Mac mini M4

Hello,

I've bought a MacMini M4 from 2024, and I'd like to install Mac os Sonoma instead of Mac os Sequoia.

Is this possible?


Thanks

User @Ian R. Brown is correct. There is no way to install a version of macOS that predate the release date of a Mac.

If the computer shipped with Sequoia from the factory, one cannot install Sonoma or Ventura on that Mac. It's been this way since forever with Macs.
