Mid-2014 21.5" iMac as external monitor for PC

Is this possible? iMac has Thunderbolt 2 port; HP Elitebook 850 PC has Thunderbolt 3. With an appropriate adapter, can I use the iMac as an external monitor for my PC? I've found a lot of contradictory information online. Some say yes, some say no.

Would make working at home much easier!

No. It can only be used with another Mac that running 10.6.1 or later.
