Greetings, I have a macOS Ventura installer, however I am not sure if it's safe to use.

Before, It just had "Install macOS".. Version
It boots just fine, I just don't want to try it.

I want to make sure it is safe to use before sticking it into random peoples Macs.

Thanks in advance.

Believe those files are related to booting a Mac with T2 or M processor(s). Gets discussed some in the "XYZ on unsupported Macs" threads. "BIOS" for those models.

Before, all it would show is the install macOS Monterey, Big Sur, etc... What are all the extra files for?

They are a whole lot of very similar looking files in the Monterey installer, but hidden. No idea why it's been changed unless an error.
