Late 2012 iMac as external display

From


MacBook Air (M1, 2020)

macOS Big Sur 11.5.2


To

iMac (27-inch, Late 2012)

2.9 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5

macOS Catalina 10.15.7


I read a lot of blogs and saw videos and there is a lot of confusion if this combination will work.

Can someone clarify if iMac can be used a display and if so which cable will suit this please?


Thank you.


iMac 27″, macOS 10.15

No sorry. The new M1 MacBook Air does not support using the 2012 iMac as a display in Target Display Mode.
