See how many Clean Installs my Mac has done

Hello

Probably a strange question! I recently took my iMac into an Apple Store and they replaced the logic board with AppleCare. When diagnosing the fault, they started my iMac up and were able to log into the recovery screen and see how many times I have done a clean install over the last few months to try and fix the problem.

Does anyone know how to replicate this again?

iMac 27", macOS 10.15

Genius Bar Hi! I would like to make an appointment to bring in 2 devices with the same start up problem. Can I do that? Once started up, I want to scrub my data and recycle both my old MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. When I request repair, it gives me one day only with different times. How do I see dates that might be available after this? Thanks!

Mac Studio has faults, replacement original CTO order to take 8 weeks. How can I expedite? Hi All Apple have agreed to replace my Mac Studio Max (base model with 1TB SSD). My machine is being collected later this week, but a replacement not due to arrive for nearly 2 months. 5 x Erase and Install in the last week as instructed by Apple Support and Apple Store in person. Performance issues, Magic Keyboard with Touch ID not connecting for up to 5 mins without using cable, display issues when editing photos (Studio Display resizing) and no internet connection (wired or wireless) when new CAT7 works in other Macs and Wifi is working on other devices. I've lost faith in this machine so can't wait for a replacement. Does anyone have any tips as to how I can ask for this to be expedited as a replacement (no change from original order) so I don't have to wait so long for my new machine. Thanks Matt

Imac 2011 repair? Hey so I tried to factory reset but botched it and deleted the hard drive. No way of updating at all. Can’t even get into the log in screen. If I see an Apple technician, will they be able to fix it? I don’t want to spend more money on a new one. I like my Mac.

The genius bar has special diagnostic equipment which you (or I) would not have.
