Can I use the iMac 2015 as a second screen for my 2018 MacBook Air?
I have tried using a conversion from mini port to HDMI and from MacBook Air to HDMI and connecting both using an HDMI cable and it does not seem to work.
Please suggest if I can use something else for this to work.
No, you cannot use that 2015 iMac as a display. Target Display mode is not supported on the 2015 iMac.
Only a few Macs could be used like this. The feature is no longer supported.
