looking for Mini DisplayPort to thunderbolt adapter

Hello! I have a mid 2010 MacBook Pro that I am trying to connect to an apple monitor that is slightly newer (2015 ish). Can anyone help me with a Mini DisplayPort to Thunderbolt adapter or similar option to connect the two?


Thanks!

I agree with Grant. For other protocols like HDMI, DVI, etc. you can sometimes find "active" adapters that do funky things to manipulate signals in ways they were never meant to be manipulated. But those are flakey by definition. Nobody is going to bother building anything like that for the tiny Apple Thunderbolt Display market. Even Apple abandoned that market, after all. These days, you could sell that 2010 MacBook Pro and you still wouldn't even have enough money for the monitor stand for Apple's current Thunderbolt Display.
