Macbook Pro mid 2012 OS Problem

Hello. Specs: 13' ,intel i7 2.9ghz, new 1tb ssd Critical, 16gb ram samsung. Model A1278

Right now it runs Success' href='/2020/12/install-macos-catalina-on-supported-pc.html'>Catalina but i want to go on Monterey. The problem im facing is that when i try to install the os with OCLP, i get timed out after some time.

I pinged and i got just some normal hiccups ( 8 9 11 34 8 8 8 ms)

-my internet is slow but it was consistent, 1.3mbps and i tried it 4 times. I got to 2 3 5.7 7.3 gb. out of the ~12gb

I tried with the usb but it wont let me boot from it. I cant find the EFI boot folder to try the 2 usbs method (one with the iso, one with the EFI) partitions on just an usb are a nightmare (tried 3 times).

Would appreciate a lot if someone could help me resolve it. i have a windows laptop as well but i need the mac for portability and on Success' href='/2020/12/install-macos-catalina-on-supported-pc.html'>Catalina... github looks like a bad html site.

Thanks.
