Only a narrow window of iMac sub-models could do target display mode and that was never other than Mac-to-Mac. Yours is too new to allow TDM. Apple reference here:

Unfortunately, I don't believe this is possible :/
Maybe if you get a HDMI to Thunderbolt converter and follow the steps listed in the following article:
Use your iMac as a display with Target Display Mode - Apple Support
Adaptors:
Belkin 4K Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter - Apple
Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter - Apple -VGA shouldn't be supported though.
However, I did read that since the introduction of thunderbolt on the 2011 iMac, a thunderbolt Mac is needed to use this feature.

If you decide to try, I would love to hear whether it works or not.
All the best!
As far as I know you can not do what you want to do.
