From
MacBook Air (M1, 2020)
macOS Big Sur 11.5.2
To
iMac (27-inch, Late 2012)
2.9 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
macOS Catalina 10.15.7
I read a lot of blogs and saw videos and there is a lot of confusion if this combination will work.
Can someone clarify if iMac can be used a display and if so which cable will suit this please?
Thank you.
iMac 27″, macOS 10.15
No sorry. The new M1 MacBook Air does not support using the 2012 iMac as a display in Target Display Mode.
please carefully read > Use your iMac as a display with target display mode - Apple Support

You cannot use an iMac as a display with an M1 Mac.
+2, you cannot use your 2012 iMac as an external display with a M1 based Mac.
Thank you very much.
You're welcome.
