    First, Choose the “+” Add Hard Drive on Top-Right:

    Screen time
    Siri
    Choose your look

    ESPECIALLY RELEVANT: After the Installation is successfully achieved you should Manually Detach the Installation Drive.
    So go in Settings >> Storage and Remove All but the OS Disk that you have created in the Former Step!

    Finally, to achieve this Setup after Re-Booting again you need to Access on the Top-Left Menu Choose Startup Disk and Switch to the Installation one.
