There's too much confusion around this topic and I saw some Apple experts answer it incorrectly here. Mine's a 21inch Apple mid-2011 iMac and it only has Thunderbolt 1 (not Thunderbolt 2 as I was assuming). Thanks for the amazing information and clarity you provided on several topics. So even if you got a USB-C to Mini DisplayPort cable, it would not work with your iMac as a display.Īnd as has been pointed out, Apple doesn't support Target Display Mode with non-Mac primary computers, but in my experience it works about as well as Apple's 27 inch LED display and Thunderbolt Display did with PC's, so ymmv, if you get a PC with Thunderbolt, that is. Nothing will work if you use that adapter on your USB-C only laptop with no Thunderbolt 3.Īlso, since your iMac has a Thunderbolt port, it will only work in TDM with Thunderbolt cables connecting to Thunderbolt ports. Not sure if that's what you meant.Īnd I assume your windows laptop doesn't have a Thunderbolt port? If the port is USB-C, and not Thunderbolt 3, (check for thunderbolt symbol near the port) then this doesn't work.įrom the start, the Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 adapter has a very misleading name, it does not convert USB-C signals to Thunderbolt 2 (nor does anything else, it's just not possible). įirstly, your 2011 iMac doesn't have Thunderbolt 2, it has two Thunderbolt 1 ports.
THUNDERBOLT ADAPTER FOR MAC 2010 WINDOWS 10
I have been persistently trying to connect my Apple iMac mid-2011 (has Thunderbolt 2 for Video-in) to work as external display for my Windows 10 laptop.
