That probably falls under:


"Learn what to do if your Mac starts up to a circle with a line through it (prohibitory symbol)."

https://support.apple.com/kb/HT210901

"A prohibitory symbol, which looks like a circle with a line or slash through

it, means that your startup disk contains a Mac operating system, but it's

not a version or build of macOS that your Mac can use."
