+With newer hardware, you should be running with the Apple T2 Security Chip (found via  → About This
+Mac → Overview → System Report → Controller). In order to boot your machine using the Boot Disk,
+you'll need to *temporarily* disable the default security settings as follows:
+
+- Turn on or restart your Mac, then press and hold `COMMAND + R` immediately after seeing the Apple
+  logo.
+- Select Utilities → Startup Security Utility from the main menu.
+- Click "Turn Off Firmware Password".
+- Select "Secure Boot: No Security".
+- Select "External Boot: Allow booting from external media".
+- Quit the utility and restart the machine.
+
+You'll now be able to boot your system with the Boot Disk (see above).
+
+After the new operating system has been installed via the Boot Disk, *ensure you return to the
+Startup Security Utility and re-enable the following settings*:
+
+- Click "Turn On Firmware Password".
+- Select "Secure Boot: Full Security".
+- Select "External Boot: Disallow booting from external or removable media".
