Q: Install OS X Mavericks on iMac17,1
Good afternoon.
Faced with the problem can not be installed on iMac17,1 - OS X Mavericks.
When you try to boot from the USB get a crossed circle...
I tried to restore the image of 10.9.5, the same get a crossed circle at boot time...
Tell me whether there is an option to install an older version of the OS on the new iMac?

No.
Typically, whatever the base operating system is installed on a new Mac is the lowest system a Mac can support.
There are no workarounds.
Sorry.
If you needed to still use OS X 10.9 Mavericks, you would have needed to purchase another older, used Mac that either started out with OS X 10.9 Mavericks, or a lower OS X version that you could, possibly, get upgraded to OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks.
Why do you need OS X 10.9 so badly?
