Hi. I have a iMac 2012 that I would like to use as a monitor with my iMac 2021. How do I connect them? I appreciate your help.

First there is no such thing as a 2021 iMac, the latest models are 2020 models. Finally, you cannot connect them as that functionality no longer exists. If you want an external display for the 2020 iMac then please buy one. Sorry there are no viable work arounds either.
