+1 M2 Mini, no update

Thank you for your response. I ended up having to put the Macbook Air in DFU mode because i could not get it to boot form the thumb drive.

When I try the command to make the disk I get a "command not found" error. From terminal patrickstrodel@Patricks-iMac-2020 ~ % sudo /Applications/Install\ MacOS\ Ventura.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume --nointeraction sudo: /Applications/Install MacOS Ventura.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia: command not found
