Feb 4, 2023 at 11:17 comment added Razzupaltuff I only have Windows PCs. I followed this guide to create a bootable USB stick: apple.stackexchange.com/questions/448120/…
Jan 31, 2023 at 22:30 comment added Steve Chambers Do an internet search for "create bootable macOS install media" there is a different macOS command for each version of macOS that will create bootable media to install each version of macOS. Unless you have already done this that is why your USB stick is not bootable.
Jan 31, 2023 at 20:27 comment added Razzupaltuff @SteveChambers I actually deleted everything from the HD. However, the Mac doesn't seem to recognise my OS X installation USB stick. It gets detected by the disk manager, but not offered as an installation source or handled as a boot device.

Jan 30, 2023 at 21:32 comment added Steve Chambers Actually Older Macs were not difficult to repurpose at all. When you boot into the installer, use disk utility to delete all the existing partitions and create a new one. The installer will do what it needs to do and then install a fresh copy of OSX. This is all assuming that it was not enrolled in an MDM, which has security that would prevent making this iMac yours.
