Could you help me with initial setups for installing RHEL 9.4?

I made a bootable USB for RHEL 9.4 a few days ago which I used for an old laptop. It went well.

But today I want to install RHEL on my main laptop as well using the same bootable usb. And I wanted to escalate security level compared to when I did it last time on my old laptop

Issue1:
In 'Installation summary' page under 'Connect to Red Hat' tab, there are some options that I don't fully understand.
Set system purpose:
ROLE: RHEL server, RHEL workstation, RHEL compute node
SLA: Premium, Standard,Self-Support

I have a free tier subscription to RHEL for individual developers. And that subscription is also used by my old laptop. So I'm thinkin RHEL workstation for Role and Self-Support for SLA is the answer for me, but I want to be sure.

Issue2:
In 'Installation summary' page,
In 'Security Profile' tab,
I see 3 different levels of anssi-bp-028 security profile I can apply.

The problem is that apparently there has to be some partitioning before applying security profile and I do not know how to do so. All I have is a small bootable usb and a computer.

/srv, /tmp, /var, /var/log must be on a separate partition or logical volume and has to be created in partitioning layout before installation can occur with a security profile.


What I have done so far:
In 'Installation summary page', in 'Installation Source' tab, I selected the default Auto-detected installation media, clicked Verify and it said this device is good to install from.

I created Root password and created a administrator user with same pw as root

So, I know you're asking about the differences in the choices that are being presented to you, but for starters, I'd like to ask if you were successful in completing the installation?
