OK to add Mac Mini?

My iMac is a 2011 with OS10.13.6. It is becoming obsolete. If I add a Mac Mini to it will that become my new hard drive? Is a Mac Mini the solution?

No Macs made after 2019 or running any OS higher than macOS 10.15 "Catalina" can serve as a video source for the few iMacs (Late 2009—Mid 2014) that supported Target Display Mode (TDM).


It is all here:

TDM is dead tech.

Mostly you just need a more modern Browser than Safari on Mojave, or High Sierra like Firefox or Brave.
