Upgrade?

I have a late 2013 iMac. Can I just attach a MAC Mini for a simple upgrade? I guess I can use the CRT and Keyboard and Mouse that I have now. I like to keep up with the latest OS but truly do not need about 90% of the upgrades. My iMAC does not allow any H/W upgrades. Your response is appreciated.

Your iMac is compatible with the latest OS, and in all likelihood the upcoming Catalina as well.


But yes, it’s compatible for use in Target mode. You’ll need Apple’s TB3-TB2 adapter
