| Jun 21, 2022 at 15:59 | comment | added | David Anderson | My 2018 Mac mini came with Catalina installed. I used another Mac to create a USB Mojave installer and was able to boot from this installer. I was able to use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive and install Mojave. Later I installed Big Sur on an external thunderbolt 3 drive. | |

@benwiggy thanks for the comment; I’m already trying to install macOS from an USB stick generated on an other Mac with createinstallmedia

Your best bet is to create an installer disk on a USB stick or other external volume, after downloading the MacOS installer. (But you'll need a functioning macOS to do that. | |
