I have a 2015 imac, which was wiped and operates entirely as a windows machine. It will not upgrade for windows 11. Can it be used as a monitor for a windows 11 laptop.? What will I have to do to use it in this way?
Model number is Imac Me086b/a2.7 15/18/1/21
Earlier Mac models
Target Display Mode went away when the first 27" 5K Retina iMac came out in Late 2014. Your 2015 iMac does not support that feature, and cannot be used as a hardware video monitor for any other device.

No
Not especially performance oriented are these two options that I'm aware of:
Duet and Luna Display.
For all practical intents and purposes, user @KiltedTim is not wrong. These solutions are less than optimal vs simply using a proper, dedicated monitor rather than rig an iMac that was never intended to be a monitor for another computer. Never mind the fact that a contemporary monitor will use much less energy than your older full-functioning iMac computer, even if it's only being used as a display.
