cannecting HDMI cable to old iMac (2010)

Hello, curious as to how I would be able to connect an HDMI cable to an old iMac (2010...21.5") which has no USB-C ports, only USB 4 ports? What kind of adapters would I need, for such a relic?

Your 2010 iMac has a Minidisplay port. You would connect the Minidisplay port adapter to the iMac, plug the HDMI cable into the adapter and the other end of the HDMI cable into your TV or external display. You do not output video through a USB port.
