[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1923326, member: 110816"] There is no 2016 iMac. There's 2014 and 2017. If you're on the 2014, then Big Sur is the newest version of macOS you can upgrade to. If it's the 2017, you can get to Ventura. So assuming you're right about not being able to upgrade to Ventura, you're on the 2014 iMac and should upgrade to at least Big Sur. That will definitely be fine for a few years until apps start complaining about requiring newer versions of macOS or the machine no longer suites your needs. That's the right time to upgrade. Your idea of gutting the iMac and hooking it up to a Mac Mini is not worth it for various reasons. If you are indeed going to upgrade to a Mac Mini or Mac Studio, then just grab a proper monitor and use it. [/QUOTE]
