The option in Preferences is only available on recent Macs that have the T2 chip -- see: Mac models with the Apple T2 Security Chip - Apple Support or on Macs that have Apple silicon (M1, M2) rather than an Intel cpu.


For older Macs, skip step 2 in What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Mac - Apple Support and use the remaining steps instead.
