How to set 2020 27 inch iMac as win10 laptop monitor

[rexandranger]

Hello everyone, I wanna set my newst 27inch iMac as the monitor of my dell laptop, I connector the two with the thunderbolt3 wire, but nothing happens. Command+F2 doesn't work also, some articles say the new iMac won't support as External monitor, I wonder whether there is method to implement that.

I don't believe new iMacs can do "target display mode" any more, even with Macs.
I could be wrong.

You can't. Sorry.
27" Imacs haven't been able to work as external displays since they went to 5k resolution.

You might be able to use something like Microsoft Remote Desktop (in the App store) to access the PC from your iMac - but that's not quite the same thing.

Try the Air Server apps (free trial for 30 days)
Direct connection won't work.
Indirect connection(via LAN) may work, but it will be laggy.
