Replacing the hard drive (or upgrading to an SSD) in a 27-inch iMac from 2012 to 2019 is a moderately difficult task that involves carefully separating the display from the chassis (which uses strong adhesive strips), disconnecting cables, and accessing internal components. Apple does not officially support user-replaceable storage for these models beyond RAM on the 27-inch variants, so this is a third-party/DIY procedure.
The process is largely similar across Late 2012 through 2019 models (both non-Retina and Retina 5K versions), with minor variations in adhesive handling or bracket sizes depending on the exact year/EMC number.

Most Apple Engineer have most probably got several USB Ext hard drives they use as a clean boot system (operating system) for testing purposes.

If you have a bootable drive and require either a copy or a hardware upgrade of the USB drive your best option would be to look at cloning the drive to a new USB ext drive. We are going to look at anything from Catalina and before within this article.
