If your new MacMini is an M1 MacMini, then no.


It can. be used from a 2018 Mac Mini or earlier that is running Catalina or earlier.

  • The iMac used as a display must have macOS High Sierra or earlier installed.
  • The other Mac that you're connecting it to must have been introduced in 2019 or earlier and have macOS Catalina or earlier installed.
