Using my iMac 11,2 as a second screen

I have recently inherited my Dad's old but fabulous iMac 11,2 and due to working from home for the foreseeable want to hook it up as a second screen from my MacBook Air.


Speaking to Apple Support I need to use 'Targeted Display' and source a 3rd party cable to connect the two.


I wondered if anyone knows if all I need is a USB to USB C cable or if I should be using the Mini Display Port on the iMac to USB C


Thanks so much in advance!

Hi,

you need to look if the iMac has a Mini Display port or a Thunderbolt 2 port: Identify the ports on your Mac - Apple Support

Depending on that you need to choose your adapter.
