I have finally gotten to the installer menu where you can install macOS Sonoma and use Disk Utility, but when I try to format my main drive as APFS it gives errors. It gets close to creating the APFS volume and then gives me the error "An internal error has occured: (-69624)". Here is the laptop I'm using: https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/...d-l15-type-20u7-20u8/20u8/20u8s08h00/pf22pz12
Have you tried Erasing the drive using the HFS+ GUID format and then once that completes Erasing the drive again, but this time selecting the APFS format option.
I am assuming you are using a separate drive for macOS, so there is nothing on the drive. If that is not the case, then you need to explain how the drive is currently formatted.
I figured it out. The whole time I was using an unsupported NVMe (a Samsung pm981). I replaced the NVMe and it formatted APFS fine the first time. I went on to successfully installing macOS
