Hey! So I'm relatively new to macOS and apple products in general.
A few months ago I purchased a 2011 iMac, and while it was great to introduce myself to macOS, I'm looking to partially upgrade.
I've come across a late 2014 Mac mini, and was wondering if I can use the iMac as a display for the Mini. The iMac has a lightning port on the back, but I had heard something about Mini displayports on 2011 models and everything's become a headache.
So - assuming this is possible, how would I go about it? I have no intention in using the 2011 iMac as a computer, only a monitor.
Thanks!
