I have an older iMac (late 2009). Time to update to a new 2020 iMac. I know the new machine will support multiple monitors, but is there a way to use the older iMac as the secondary display?
iMac, OS X 10.11
If the 2009 iMac is 27" it should work, despite what Apple says.
Use your iMac as a display with target display mode - Apple Support
"You can connect any of these older iMac models to another Mac from 2019 or earlier"
You will need a USB-C to Mini DisplayPort cable. Thunderbolt adapters and cables won't work.

Yes, that may be possible. See Use your iMac as a display with Target Display Mode - Apple Support.
