can you use another iMac as a second display?

I have an older iMac and just purchased the new iMac with the M1 chip. Can I use the old computer as a second display only?

Depends on how old the old iMac is.


The new iMac can use Airplay to Mac to use another Mac as a screen.


The old Mac needs to be a 2019 or newer model running Monterey.


If the old iMac is older than that, then no, it cannot be used as a screen for the new iMac.
