I have been around looking for ways to use mi old iMac 2015 Retina 5K 27" as a monitor for my Macbook Pro M1 but I can not find a solution, does anybody know how ?
Thank you !

Use your iMac as a display with target display mode - Apple Support
It's not supported on those models.

It's nothing new; as you can see from their Support document "target display mode" was a feature someone apparently thought was a good idea at the time. It didn't last very long.
No one knows why Apple does what they do.
You can use Screen Sharing, but it's no substitute for a real external monitor.
Thank you John... so it seems that I will have to buy an external monitor and sell the old iMac (that I love)... any ideas why Apple is doing this?
Buy an external monitor if you want an external display. Does not matter if your computer is a Mac or Windows PC, computers do not have video input ports.
I know, thank you again !
