Why not? What happens when you try?

Do you get an error? If so, what does it say exactly?

What model / year of Mac are you trying this on?

Is it one of the models in the support document you posted from?

What macOS version is it currently running?


Please provide as much detail and context about your issue as possible, and someone may be able toadies.
