In addition to my 2017 21" Mac I have two monitors sitting on the side of my desk. The first is my 2009 21" Mac, the second is a 17" Windows based laptop.
Instead of chucking the older Mac and lap top out I thought I might connect one of them up as a second monitor. I seem to recall that I read an Apple document that stated I COULD NOT link the 2009 Mac as a 2nd monitor. Although it has the necessary ports there is something about the bus that is not compatible. Apparently the 27" from 2009 will work. Can anyone confirm this?
The alternative is to connect my 2017 Mac to the Windows laptop. It looks like I need a Thunderbolt to VGA connection. Can anyone here confirm that this works?
A little extra screen space would be a benefit when transcribing details from a source into Reunion 12.
Thanks in advance.
