An Apple Fabric Internal Drive in you first image means this is an Apple Silicon Computer
The right way to Erase the computer is contained in the below Apple Document

FYI, when posting pictures online, make sure they are in the proper orientation since we have trouble reading sideways. You need to make things as easy & convenient as possible for those trying to assist you since many contributors may skip the thread. If you are using an iPhone or iPad, then you can easily rotate the picture on that device so it is in the correct orientation by using the instructions in this article:

If you are using another type of device, then there probably is something similar on them to rotate the picture.

Was practicing a Yoga Pose when reading that image 😎
