Using Mid-2011 iMac as display for Mac Mini M1

Hi


I have a mid-2011 27" iMac that I am looking to replace with a Mac Mini M1. Simple question, can I connect the Mac Mini M1 to the iMac to use as the display? If yes, what cable\s do I need.


Thanks


Julian

No sorry it won't work, because the 2020 Mac Mini does not support using an iMac as a display.

"You can connect any of these older iMac models to another Mac from 2019 or earlier for use as an external display"
