Hey LuckyRM,


Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to use Target display mode with a Windows computer. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.


Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Apple Support

What is Target Display Mode (TDM)?


TDM allows you to use a supported iMac as an external display for another Mac computer using Mini DisplayPort or ThunderBolt cables.


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Have a good one,

Mario
