Old devices

How do you find your old device list? I have logged into my Apple account and I am looking at the manager account section. It shows the devices I’m currently logged into but what about old or historical data?

I tried. They were no help.

The folks at Apple Support were no help, or they gave you an answer?


What was the answer that the folks at Apple Support gave? They didn’t know? Or that there was no such list?
