Hello,
I am have a mid 2011 21.5inch Mac I want to use a second screen to my Dell Windows laptop. I have a Mini DsiplayPort to 4k HDMI cable and a Mini DisplayPort ti HDMI adapter but neither seem to be working for me.
Can anyone help? I have also tried selecting F2 from my windows laptop and MAC does not go into Target Display Mode as expected.
Thank you,
Millie
Hi MillieH92,
Target Display Mode is only available for a select few Mac models, never Windows PCs. Only a few 2009/2010 27" iMacs may let a PC work.
Cheers,
Jack

Hi Jack,
Thanks for your response. So to confirm, there is no way to use a mid 2011 IMac as a second screen to windows? Thanks.
Correct. No way.
+1 Correct, no way. If the PC needs and external display please buy one. Please remember iMacs are computers they were NEVER intended to be external displays for other devices.
Target Display Mode Windows > Mac
