I recently got Imac 2017 (3069) with fusion hdd. Replaced the hdd with SSD now im unable to get in to recovery mode after trying all of the apple short cut keys. Restarts then the prohibition sign pops up cause of missing OS. Any help will be appreciated.
Turn off the iMac hold down CMD-OPT-R then turn it on and release the keys when you get a spinning world 🌎 in the screen connect to tuff en WiFi and wait for the internet recovery screen , make sure to show all devices from the menu bar “View” then select the brand if the ssd and erase it with name Macintosh format APFS and scheme Guid partition map

When I upgraded several years ago, I spent approximately 29 consecutive hours trying to recover to no avail.
I was told to bring it in.
That was the best advice I have ever heard.
I took it to my local Apple Retail Store to have the operating system installed and was informed that my old 2017 iMac wasn’t supported anymore.
The procedure only took about five minutes and was completely free of charge.
With my knowledge and experience in this matter, I am passing this recommendation to you, RudiLMahapi! 😉
Good luck! 👋🏼😉
