If both of your computer hard drives are named, for example, "Macintosh HD," then look for other hints. When you click on the line with the hard drive size & brand-model, it will give you more information about it down below. Each drive will show up as a cluster of names (2 or more) with the first line showing the hard drive size & brand-model and the second line showing your regular name for it. Be very very very careful here, we're going to repartition your target/downgrade drive and we must be sure of the correct one! You want to find the target computer-you-want-to-downgrade's hard drive name in the list on the left, NOT your host hard drive names. System mount on your host desktop (it might only appear on left side of a folder/Finder window if you've got your hard drives hidden from your desktop.)
