[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1922479, member: 307555"] Sure! You buy a hub (I recommend [URL='https://www.owc.com/solutions/connectivity']OWC Thunderbolt Hub[/URL] - I have tried all the cheap ones!) and when you are home attach your MBP to it. The hub can connect your monitor(s) and drives. Or you can just attach the monitor directly to the MBP using the HDMI port or one of the USB-C ports. Creating a bootable disk is not necessary - not sure why you would want to. If you close the MBP, add a bluetooth keyboard and mouse - now you have your desktop. If your old iMac is still able to boot and be reliable you can always use it for storage. Lisa [/QUOTE]
