Here's how to reinstall MacOS:

If your selling your iMac, or just want to do a full clean-install as shown in the above link, first go to disk-utility prior to re-installing MacOS and erase your boot drive completely then go to the option of reinstalling MacOS.


I recommend you connect your wireless keyboard to your Mac using a USB->Lightning cable so it treats it as a wired keyboard. When reinstalling MacOS, it tends to behave better with a wired keyboard.
