Using an external monitor

I have a late 2013, 27" iMac with Catalina version 10.15.7. Can this be used as an external monitor if connected to a current Apple Macbook Air. If the operating system is a factor can it be changed to High Sierra?

No.


Review the document: Use your iMac as a display with target display mode - Apple Support

Target display mode is a feature available with late 2009-Mid 2014 iMacs. The display Mac has to be running macOS High Sierra or older and the signal producing Mac has to be running macOS Catalina (ca. 2019) or earlier.
