Seems fairly obvious to me, but maybe I'm missing something.


In the second screenshot you're trying to install the 10.15.7 update, but that requires an existing 10.15.x installation, so I'm guessing your current machine isn't running 10.15, right? Therefore the install can't run.


In the first screenshot you're trying to install Mac OS, but there's no suitable disk available.


A lot of this will hinge on the OS version currently installed on your machine. What version are you running right now?

Use this link and choose macOS 10.15 Catalina


 How to get old versions of macOS


It will download the Full and Compete version of macOS 10.15.7 Catalina


Once downloaded, look in the Applications folder of the computer


There should be a new application called " Install Catalina app "


When ready, launch it just like ant other application


Follow the instructions


The computer may reboot several time before the computer is upGraded to macOS 15 Catalina


Always make a Time Machine Backup  before doing any upGrades
