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
