Hi, I've got a 2013 13 inch Macbook Pro that I would like to use as a second display for my 27 inch 2013 iMac. I've seen lots of articles about using the iMac in target display mode, but is it possible to set it up as the other way around?
Thanks
MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15

No, the MacBook Pro has no display inputs, and MacOS NEWER than High Sierra on your iMac will not allow the iMac to work as a Target Display.

Try Target Disk Mode, pressing F2 on on your iMac or the MBP.

Can a Macbook Pro be used as a second display for iMac?
