So i recently got a new MacBook (13 inch m1 chip), and I didn't want to throw away my old MacBook (13 inch 2017). So I thought I could use the old macboook as a second monitor to my new m1 chip MacBook. However, I can only link the m1 chip mac to the old MacBook, using the m1 chip as the second monitor.

I checked displays in settings, and in my old MacBook, there was a button called add display, and I clicked that and selected my new m1 chip. But when I go to displays on my new MacBook, there isn't an add displays button.

please help
 
Both need to be running Monterey and you need to set up the Sharing options correctly to go both ways.
