Connecting my Alienware laptop to my iMac using thunderbolt port 2?

I just bought an Alienware m15 r7. Can I connect it to display it on my iMac which is an older model? the exact version is the iMac 15,1. It has thunderbolt 2 connections.

iMac 27″, macOS 11.7

You cannot use your iMac as a display for your pc.


That has never been a feature of macOS or the Mac hardware.


Once upon a time Target Display mode was available, but Apple have deprecated and discontinued it several years ago.


You may consider Luna Display or Duet, but I think most users find those less than ideal.
