Hello.
I have purchased the USB-C to Thunderbolt adapter (plus 50cm thunderbolt cable) to connect my Macbook Pro to my iMac, to use the iMac as an extra/additional monitor. I've connected the devices but he COMMAND F2 function doesn't do anything. The iMac just remains showing its own screen.
Am I missing something? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
That article suggest that the correct cable for the 2010 27-in iMac is a Mini DisplayPort cable.
The ThunderBolt-3 <-> ThunderBolt-2 adapter supports ONLY genuine ThunderBolt displays, and no other display protocols under any circumstances.

Yes, you are:
candidates include:
MacBook Pro 2020 models no longer support the feature.
iMacs running Mojave or later do not support the feature.
You may not have the correct cabling.
Use your iMac as a display with target display mode - Apple Support

Thanks for the reply, Grant.
My Macbook Pro is 2019 and the iMac is 2010 running El Capitan.
Get an external monitor. Use the correct tool for the job. Using another computer's display is not the correct tool.
Thanks Bob. I already had the iMac, so thought I'd use what I have for now.
Thanks Grant. I did see that when looking at the article. I appreciate your help with this. Cheers.
BobTheFisherman makes a good point as well...
