OS Ventura 13 not able to update on old Mini

Attempting to install Turbo Tax 2024 but my old Mini will not allow for update to OS Ventura 13. Bought new mini and would like to use it to install Ventura 13 as a separate drive. How do I do that?



Mac mini, macOS 12.7

Assuming that your new Mac mini is running Sonoma or Sequoia, why would you even want to create a special startup drive to install TurboTax?


Intuit TurboTax – TurboTax Federal Tax Year 2024 Software Minimum System Requirements


"macOS Ventura 13 or later (macOS Monterey 12 not supported)

Specific macOS: macOS Ventura 13, macOS Sonoma 14, macOS Sequoia 15"


The TurboTax 2024 system requirements say "Ventura 13 or later", not "Ventura 13 only".
