Using my iMac as a monitor for pc (With HDMI)

So I would like to connect my iMac 27" to my pc soon (July 9th)

Can I connect it with a HDMI cable by using the MiniDisplayPort "converter" to HDMI?

I don't really know what the year is of the iMac but I bought it in 2011 on the Apple online store website.

I can see Thunderbolt ports on the back of my iMac, can that give you a hint about the year of the iMac?

So, what I would like to know... Is it possible?

iMac, Windows 7
