imac as second screeen Would like to use a iMac late 2012 21.5" running Catalina 10.15.7 as a second screen or mirrored screen for a 2020 Mac book air retina 13" running Monterey 12.6. Mac air has 'thunderbolt 3" ports aka USB-C. The iMac has: USB 3.0 ports and "thunderbolt" ports. I have the dongle for the MacBook to communicate with thunderbolt 2. When I connect the two machines nothing happens. Read that maybe recently with OS changes the feature is no longer available to use the old late 2012 iMac as a second screen. Is it still possible to use the iMac late 2012 running Catalina 10.15.7 as a second screen? if so, how? I have tried with no luck. thank you.

No sorry, it won't work because the new iMac's no longer support Target Display Mode.
