Good day nell,


Target Display Mode was not supported with 2015 iMacs, and even if you had a Mac that would support it, recent system functionality is spotty in support of that.


Use your iMac as a display with Target Display Mode - Apple Support - https://support.apple.com/HT204592 - iMacs late 2009-Mid 2014


This could only be done with a very few and very specific older iMacs and support was very limited. Read this topic for a 2021 perspective on this: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252271436?answerId=254300142022#254300142022
