Adding another Mac mini to present setup

[kayescyk]

hi all, newbie here. Presently I use a M1 Mac Mini with a Wacom Cintiq24 as my primary display and for a secondary monitor I use a Dell 2714. I would like to add a 2010 Mac mini to this setup so that it uses the same two screens i.e. the Wacom and the Dell. Can this be done? And how would I go about it? Many thanks in advance.

The most obvious way would be, I think, to unplug everything from MM1 and plug it all into MM2. There may be other options that would not require unplugging stuff and plugging it in, but I do not know what they might be.

Another way would be to keep everything connected to the M1 Mini and just operate the 2010 Mini remotely, using Screen Sharing.
