Connect two Imac Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017 as dual screens

Hi!

I got two of the same Imacs and im trying to connect one of them as a secondary monitor with Thunderbolt 3 cable.

After connecting the cable I click the keyboard Command + F2 but nothing happen.


What I do wrong ?

Sorry it will not work, please carefully read Target Display Mode and you will see 2017 iMacs are not supported. Before you ask, sorry there is NO work around. If you want/need 2 displays on one of the iMacs please buy an external display. That is the only solution that will work.
