windows thunderbolt 3 to imac thunderbolt 2

Hi - I know this topic has been covered many times, but I can’t find an answer regarding thunderbolt 2&3.


I have a 2013 iMac and also a windows laptop with a thunderbolt 3 (usb-c).

can I use the thunderbolt 2-3 adapter and use target display mode to use my iMac as a display for the laptop?

The 2013 iMac is not a display device for Windows computers, and you need to use a separate dedicated display for the laptop because Target Display Mode is designed for Macs only.
