Mac mini(2020) to iMac(2009)

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if it's possible to connect mac mini(2020) to iMac(2009), i want to use iMac as a display monitor. I have seen videos online that i am able to do that on 2009 version.


Although i am having the following issue with my imac, it stucks at the start of the loading screen.

Having this problem can i use it as an external display? or i need to be able to enter at the mainpage to do that?


Thank you very much,

Wish to all of you a better year than last one.


Greg

FWIW, trying to use a 2009 in Target Display mode with an M1 mini is unsupported. The fact your iMac will not open to the log in screen can't help.
