Connect external monitor

Hello. I just got a 21.5” iMac. I have a second monitor a need to connect via HDMI. As my iMac only has the USB A and thunderbolt ports, can I use a USB A to HDMI adaptor to connect the other screen? I already have the adaptor and it would be convenient to not have to buy yet another cord.

Elissa, I doubt USB-A is going to work.


Is the Thunderbolt port also USB-C?
