First off I have very limited knowledge of the Apple iMac and the Apple OS.
So a friend of mine stated he had a Mac computer that would not boot, or just kept rebooting. He had mentioned he had sent it back to have it looked at, (where sent I cannot confirm). Anyway apparently issue not resolved, so he decided to just get another, He has given up, but I thought I would see what I could do.
I picked it up a few days ago, and was very surprised that it is a 27inch iMac model 2834 and it's a very dusty but great looking machine.
I got around to powering it up yesterday and after approximately 2-4 minutes it boots to the MacOS Utilities screen. There are 4 options, Restore, Reinstall, Get help, and Disk Utility.
I do not know which OS this is running, and again this is basically all new to me so I appreciate any advice on possibilities of getting it up and running. Thank you.
