Using old iMac 2011 as an external monitor

I have a new MacBook Pro and I want to use my old iMac from 2011 as an external monitor. I have the cable and have tried using Command F2 on the bluetooth keyboard for the old Mac but nothing happens. Any suggestions on how to get it to work?

Hi NHBBooks,


Sorry, 2020 and newer Macs are not compatible with Target Display Mode. It won't work.


Cheers,


Jack
