Preparing to sell old Mac because I got a new Silicon MacBook Air

[ReeneyP]

I wanted to reset PRAM on my 2012 iMac to prepare for selling it. It was impossible since I do not have a wired keyboard. Instead I started in Recovery Mode, which did give me the option to delete everything and restore the OS. It restored Catalina just fine then.
