Connect your microSD to your PC
Following is my case using MacBook Pro. How you can connect your microSD to your PC may differ.
Prepare a microSD card
Again, it does not have to be 32GB.
Insert the microSD card to an SD card adapter
Insert the SD card adapter to a memory card reader
Connect the memory card reader to the PC
Install Raspberry Pi OS using the Raspberry Pi Imager
Run Raspberry Pi Imager
CHOOSE OS - Raspberry Pi OS (32-bit)

WRITE
It took about 30 minutes. to finish writing.
Write an empty ssh
file on the root directory of the microSD.
Connect the microSD card to your PC again, so that you can see the content of the microSD card.
Create an empty file and rename it ssh
(without extension or with extension .txt).
After that, you can eject the microSD card.
