Macbook 8,1 2015 question

Hey folks

I used to have an OCLP-ed Sonoma install on my Macbook, but I needed to install Windows with Bootcamp on a separate partition for work.

Unfortunately, MacOS wasn't able to repartition my ssd as it spat out an error, which after googling, the only solution was to completely wipe and reinstall.

So I backed up my data on a timemachine backup, and thought I could just restore from it after wiping, but no, it doesn't work like that anymore.

Now I'm a bit stumped, not sure what to do? Should I recover back to Big Sur and OCLP to Sonoma? Or is it possible to install Sonoma directly from the recovery?

I do not have access to another Mac machine, nor do I have an oclp ready usb drive.

I'm running on data-limited internet so the most efficient way is really important.

Thanks!
