Hello!
I have:
- iMac 2020 with Big Sur 11.3.1 system
- iMac late 2013 with Catalina 10.15.7 system
- MacBook Pro

I am trying to use my iMac 2013 as external display on my iMac 2020. Unfortunately iMac 2020 doesn't recognise any additional displays, whatever I do. I am using thunderbolt 2 cable with 2 > 3 adapter to connect both.

The weird thing is when I try to connect it to my MacBook Pro with the same cable and same adapter everything works smoothly.

What may be the cause?
 
That's a shame. Is there possibly any third party solution that will allow me to use my 2013 iMac as external display in my 2020 iMac?
