How can I use my 2021 M1 iMac as a display for a PC laptop?
I am going to have to use a corporate-provided PC laptop and want to use my iMac as the display. How can I connect the two devices to do that?

Unfortunately, only a few iMacs qualify for target display mode. See this article for reference on why it is not going to work with your iMac. Use your iMac as a display with target display mode - Apple Support

You can't.
FWIW, it may be possible to use Luna Display. I would contact Astropad and ask.
So I’ve gathered. Thanks for confirming what I feared.
You're welcome. I would still contact Astropad.
I have and am waiting to hear back. Thank you for the guidance.
Wheelienick, thank you for taking the time to respond. Unfortunately, my iMac does not fall within the TDM parameters.

To be honest you can get a new HD 24" monitor for less than the cost of a Luna Display dongle.

To be honest, it would take up more space. 😎
Space, not $$, is my primary concern. Thanks to all for the in-put provided.
You're welcome.
