See How to start up from macOS Recovery - Apple Support .
The directions depend on whether you have an Apple-Silicon-based Mac or an Intel-based Mac.
Really ancient Intel-based Macs that predate Internet Recovery would have come with optical recovery discs.

internet recovery screen only appears in the mac computers intel or t2 chip, it means: mac from 2020 ( except M1 models) and older versions
how to run internet recovery ?
you need to shut down the mac, press the power button and release it, and inmediately press Option- Command - R keys until the mac shows apple logo, it will show the internet recovery.
*If your mac is 2020 M1 model or later versions ( 2021 or newer versions), internet recovery is unavailable.
