Trouble updating to a newer macOS

I am running mid 2011 iMac 27" with Monterey using OCLP. I decided to update to Ventura. I created bootable USB with OCLP as usual and booted off USB. However, when picking the partition where the Ventura is going to be installed, I am greeted with "The volume cannot be downgraded" message. Is there any solution to this besides doing a clean install?

Also, if I make a Time Machine backup in Monterey will I be able to restore it in Ventura after clean install?
