From the 1st image, you'll see the view, there's an arrow for drop down option. 

Click on that and select View all devices.

Now you should see model of the internal drive. 

Select that and you should be able to format it to GUID / Journal Extended.

FYI, this will wipe your drive completely. If you have Windows installed, it'll be gone.

@Jorge1964, you need to understand that installing Big Sur requires something like 3 or 4 phases:

  1. you boot your USB installer, prepare your target disk/partition in Disk Utility (scheme + format) and complete 1st installation phase where all packages get copied to the target disk
  2. 1st reboot of the target partition (not the USB installer) where Big Sur packages will get properly installed on the target disk/partition
  3. 2nd reboot where the Big Sur installation completes
  4. 3rd reboot that gets you to the completed Big Sur installation and 1st boot system finalisation (setting of language/keyboard/user account/etc.)

As JakeLo mentioned, it looks like you never went past phase #1...
