The 4k iMac cannot be used in Target Display Mode _at all_ anyways... So the PC question is moot.
Apple removed TDM from 4k and 5k iMacs!
Please correct me if I'm wrong, because I was disappointed to say the least.
Always loved having TDM around for MacMini and old MacPro.

Forget that, it's the wrong way around, use Teamviewer (use the lan connection option)
