How do I connect my iMac to my MacBook Pro? Both have Thunderbolt 3 ports but I can’t seem to mirror them.

I tried to connect my MacBook Pro (2017) to my iMac (2017) to mirror (dual screens) since both have Thunderbolt ports. It didn’t work, do I really need an adapter?


thanks!

iMac 21.5″ 4K, macOS 10.15

Your 2017 iMac does not support Target Display Mode.

see > Use your iMac as a display - Apple Support


Note: Target Display Mode isn’t supported on iMac models with Retina display. Only iMac (27-inch, Late 2009), iMac (27-inch, Mid 2010), and iMac (Mid 2011 to Mid 2014) support Target Display Mode.
