That lets you set up a VM that's managed away from your local hardware so it can circumvent a variety of limitations – in this case, problems with Apple chip compatibility. Parallels is a virtualization platform that's optimized with an eye on both Windows 11 and MacOS, including the latest Mac models with M1/M2 chips. Use Parallels Desktop 17 to run Windows 11 But there is still an effective workaround if you're willing to invest a little in a VM (virtual machine) setup. When Apple updated its Macs with its own in-house M1 chips, that prevented Boot Camp from working as it did on old Intel chips, removing the way you could download Windows on older Macs. Running 7 older iMacs, 26 PCs and laptops for many flight simulators as wide extension screens for several decades, building, upgrading and repairing PCs and a few laptops for many years. But this is not an extension for double the screen area like the others are. Another choice is a remote screen view utility like TeamViewer or other VNC that will let you see the PC on the iMac screen or vice versa. Some programs are free, some have a trial period of a few minutes, then you buy, some are a few dollars. iMacs, PCs and some Android tablets and phones can be used. One will be a server (the master that runs your programs, can be PC or iMac in some of these utilities) and the other will be the client (the target that will be the extended display of the other). Next search the Apple software suppliers for a program to run on both machines.

Even a peer to peer transfer ethernet cable (not a regular one) will do.


Not expensive for a couple cables and a switch or hub. Ethernet will perform a bit better than wireless. Is to use the iMac as is, but with an operating MacOS hard disk running it. Search Google how and where to buy the kit on eBay or other places. Not expensive but takes care and some electronics talent. Is to strip out all hardware from the old iMac body shell but the LCD panel and get a panel control board, and some cables in a kit and a 12VDC PSU for that conversion. Only more modern ones can use Targeted Display Mode between two Mac OS computers (either two Apple machines or an iMac and a PC running Mac OS). Two ways to use an older iMac of any screen size and any year model earlier than the 2010 models.
