Target Display Mode from a 2016 MacBook to a 2011 27" iMac My Google-fu has failed me. Is it at all possible to use Target Display Mode to connect a 12-inch MacBook (early 2016) to a 27-inch iMac (Mid 2011)?

Thanks for helping.
It's not possible to use Target Display Mode to connect a MacBook (Early 2016) to a 27" iMac (2011)

For the Mid-2011 through Mid-2014 iMacs, you need a Thunderbolt cable and Thunderbolt isn't available on the Early 2016 MacBooks

From the Thunderbolt Support Page


  A Mac notebook or desktop with a Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt port.
